Pregnant, Have Lump On The Outer Area Of Anus. How Can I Get Rid Of This?
Hi i have found a lump on the outer area of the anus.. I know this is a pile, or hemerroid as my boyfriend has had this before.. Theres only one, small, itchy and sore. However im too embarrassed to phone the doctor and im pregnant. What will get rid of this external hemerroid? And should i take some sort of stool softener? My pregnancies been all healthy and im 30 weeks. Im terrified an refuse to show it to a doctor. I know this is silly.. but i nearly fainted telling him i had thrush.. Please help?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I can understand your problem but you must consult with a doctor at least go to a female doctor examination and treatment because piles may increase during pregnancy.
You should take plenty of fluids, leafy vegetables, food contains high fibre, and sitz bath.
Good luck.
Take care.
