Suggest Treatment For Painful Hemorrhoids During Pregnancy

Hi. I'm 21 weeks pregnant and recently noticed a hemorrhoid. Iv had it for 3 days now but today the pain is awful and it's really uncomfortable to sit and sometimes walk. I can't get to the doctors until Monday, but would it be safe to use fucidin cream to try and ease the pain?? Thanks

HI,
I understand your concern.
Hemorrhoids in pregnancy when painful / bleeding need doctor's advise along with self care.
* Self care-
- fomentation of the anus by6 taking schitz bath/ ice packs or both of them alternately.Use of anesthetic ointment / piles ointment or suppository available over the counter before and after deification & schitz bath.
_ have diet with lot of fibers , drink lot of water( this avoids constipation)
Use of rubber ring to sit on .. this makes sitting comfortable.
* Pain in hemorrhoids suggests infection & inflammation which needs adoctor's consultation & treatment ( in form of antibiotics/ anti inflammatory pills/ medicines to shrink the hemorrhoids/ stool softeners
Thanks.
