Does Normal Delivery Aggravate A Haemorrhoid?
Hi Doctor, my due is on the 28th this month. Does natural birth aggravate hemorrhoid? My hemorrhoid has shrunk a bit and no longer painful but I am afraid that it might get bigger during my delivery. Also, what are the common side effects of Epidural anesthesia? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Normal delivery definitely worsen your hemorrhoids, it is because straining during delivery makes the hemerrhoidal vessels more prominent and that worsen the condition.
You can opt for cesarean delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
