Hemorrhoids after childbirth are quite common, but they are not caused by the process of childbirth itself. Usually, . Unfortunately, pregnant women are most often at risk. If before you only heard about hemorrhoids, then during the wonderful months of waiting for a miracle you can even “feel” it, and after childbirth the disease only gets worse.

Hemorrhoids are a varicose inflamed condition of the veins of the rectum. It occurs due to stagnation of blood in the veins in the anus. In this case, the veins become dilated, curled into a ball, often “fall out” or become inflamed inside, and they are called hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids cause a lot of trouble for a sick person. The course of this disease is very unpleasant, so treatment should not be delayed.

In principle, it is clear why hemorrhoids occur so often during pregnancy and become inflamed after childbirth. The growing uterus puts pressure on the intra-abdominal area, making it difficult for blood to flow from the veins of the rectum. Pregnant women are more prone to varicose veins, especially in the lower extremities. This is facilitated by increasing weight, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor nutrition, which causes frequent constipation. Labor attempts become the “culmination” of pressure on the inflamed hemorrhoids.

Many doctors say that postpartum hemorrhoids rarely require serious treatment (especially surgery). If you follow simple rules, it goes away within a few months after birth. However, only if the disease arose during pregnancy and after childbirth, and was not a long-standing sore.

In this article we will tell you how you can treat mild postpartum hemorrhoids. The main condition for successful treatment is timely contact with a specialist. If during pregnancy certain difficulties arose with hemorrhoids (many medications against hemorrhoids are contraindicated during pregnancy), then after the birth of the baby this disease is easier to treat. However, there are still several nuances if you are breastfeeding your baby. But first things first.

Diet

Correct is the main condition for successful treatment of hemorrhoids. And it is extremely necessary for the health of your baby. Why do you need a diet for hemorrhoids and what is it? With the help of nutritional correction, we must cure chronic constipation, which is one of the causes of hemorrhoids. The diet of a nursing mother suffering from hemorrhoids should be healthy and rich in fiber. Your menu should include prunes or dried apricots, bananas and apples, buckwheat, oatmeal, barley and pearl barley porridge, wheat bran, and vegetable oils. It is very useful to drink a glass of cold water with a tablespoon of honey in the morning on an empty stomach. And the amount of fluid consumed should be sufficient (at least 1.5 liters).

It is also useful to eat meat, fish, cauliflower, fresh onions, garlic, and raw carrots. But you will have to say a firm “no” to all sweets, smoked meats and spices. It is also unhealthy to eat rice and semolina porridge, flour products and carbonated sweet drinks. The list of taboo foods also includes: radish, sorrel, turnips, coffee, chocolate, pepper, mustard, and legumes.

Sport

It is with the help of physical exercises that you can strengthen your muscles (including the anus). In general, after childbirth, your lifestyle should be as active as possible: walking and jogging, special exercises that normalize blood circulation in the pelvic area.

You can do the following simple exercises:

• In a standing position, you need to cross your legs and rhythmically tense the muscles of the anus;
• The same exercise can be done while sitting on a hard chair;
• while lying on your back with your legs straight, lift each leg one by one;
• lying on your back, perform the “scissors” exercise with your legs;
• lying on your back with your knees bent (shoulder-width apart), you should raise your pelvis, while leaning on your shoulders and feet;
• Lying on your back, do the “bicycle” exercise.

Hygiene

Hygiene for hemorrhoids naturally includes ideal cleanliness of all organs. After stool, if the external nodes are inflamed, you should wash yourself. Preferably cold water, because in this way you will relieve pain and inflammation. It's best to use damp toilet paper, or at least soft paper. Hot baths and saunas are contraindicated for hemorrhoids, but warm ones with decoctions or cold ones will come in handy.

Take a sitz bath in cold water for 5 minutes in the morning and evening.

Warm baths with medicinal herbs (chamomile, oak bark, sage leaves, calendula flowers) are suitable for exacerbation of the disease.

Also, if you have hemorrhoids, you should avoid anal sex. It is this type of sexual intercourse that becomes a common cause of the disease.

Medicines

Medicines are prescribed only by a doctor! Especially during lactation. It is medications (ointments, suppositories or tablets) that will help relieve swelling, relieve pain from spasms and restore tissue. Typically, drugs are prescribed that improve blood microcirculation, painkillers, and laxatives. After all, the main goal of drug treatment is to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Painkillers (ointments, gels and suppositories) produce mainly local effects. These include the following drugs: Neflubin, Bupivacaine, Anestezin, Lidocaine. For bleeding, you may be prescribed Vikasol, Detralex, Glivenol, Endotenol. These drugs also improve the tone of the veins.

The choice of drug primarily depends on what kind of feeding your baby is on. After all, many medications are contraindicated during lactation (for example, Detralex, Proctosan, Troxevasin). If the disease is mild, the doctor may even wait to prescribe until you stop breastfeeding.

During lactation, laxatives should be used with caution. After all, they have many side effects and do not eliminate the cause of constipation, but only “weaken” them.

ethnoscience

There are plenty of folk recipes for “fighting” hemorrhoids. They are readily shared by healers, grandmothers, “experienced” people, and even those who have never suffered from hemorrhoids. But even here you should be careful and before “folk treatment” it is better to consult a doctor.

Here are some simple recipes to relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

• Take 1 glass of cabbage brine orally 30 minutes before meals;
• Drink fresh rowan juice with water 3 times a day;
• a decoction of wild strawberry leaves is used for washing;
• at night, inject 2 ml of cedar oil into the anus with a disposable syringe;
• You can insert a cotton swab moistened with celandine juice into the anus;
• for bleeding, take 1 teaspoon of fumigata juice or cucumber juice;
• Use a decoction of horsetail or a decoction of sloe leaves as a lotion.

To successfully treat postpartum hemorrhoids, as we see, very little is required. So:

• eating the right foods will help prevent constipation;
• personal hygiene and hardening;
• physical exercise;
• avoid colds;
• consult a doctor in time.

All these simple rules will help you forget about this unpleasant disease forever and enjoy motherhood without pain and discomfort.

Good health to you!

Postpartum hemorrhoids are a typical problem faced by almost every second young mother who gave birth naturally. Treatment of hemorrhoids after childbirth has its own characteristics. During lactation with breast milk, substances that are contraindicated for it may enter the child’s body, so not all medications and methods can be used to get rid of this pathology.

Causes of pathology

Most often, external or internal hemorrhoids begin to develop during pregnancy, when there is a sharp increase in weight, displacement of organs due to the increasing size of the uterus, and also changes in hormonal levels. As a rule, the disease occurs in a sluggish form, without causing severe discomfort to the pregnant woman. But after childbirth, during which the body was subjected to serious overload, hemorrhoids worsen. The acute form of the disease causes not only severe discomfort, but also unbearable pain. The following factors contribute to this clinical picture:

• in the last trimester of pregnancy, the pressure inside the abdominal cavity increases, which causes stagnation of blood in the veins of the pelvic organs;
• An increased level of progesterone in the blood towards the end of pregnancy causes a strong weakening of vascular tone. Their walls stretch, causing stagnation of blood and enlargement of hemorrhoids;
• frequent constipation during pregnancy also causes the development of initial stage hemorrhoids;
• During childbirth, there is a rush of blood to the pelvic organs, pressure on the pelvic organs increases, including the hemorrhoidal veins, and the sphincter muscles also experience enormous stress. All this only worsens the clinical picture of the disease, which began to develop during pregnancy.

Relative factors that provoke the development of hemorrhoids after childbirth, as well as aggravate existing pathology, include:

• excess weight;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• errors in nutrition;
• taking hormonal medications;
• lifting weights.

Symptoms and possible complications

Postpartum hemorrhoids can manifest themselves in both acute and chronic forms. The first option is characterized by the sudden appearance of pain, severe discomfort in the anal area (burning, itching), and the second is characterized by a long course and unexpressed symptoms: itching or burning may periodically appear, which quickly disappear after using rectal suppositories; drops of blood may also periodically appear after intercourse defecation.

Unpleasant sensations in the initial stage of development of the disease intensify after the act of defecation:

• pain - occurs after defecation and, as a rule, goes away quickly. In some cases, mild but constant aching pain can persist for a long time. Most often it occurs with a slight inflammation of the external hemorrhoids. In this case, small bumps appear near the sphincter;
• itching, burning - may bother you for a long time. Unpleasant sensations intensify during defecation and disturb for a long time after it.
• spotting - occurs with frequent constipation, with the appearance of anal fissures or with the development of internal hemorrhoids, when feces, passing through the intestinal duct, injure enlarged hemorrhoids.

When the first symptoms of the disease appear, you should immediately seek medical help. Timely treatment will help avoid serious complications:

• If left untreated, hemorrhoidal cones will increase in size. In the future, they will begin to fall out of the rectum, which will require radical surgery to remove them;
• prolonged disruption of normal blood flow leads to the development of severe inflammatory processes and swelling in the tissues, which causes constant severe pain. If left untreated, complete blockage of the veins of the hemorrhoid occurs, which leads to tissue necrosis, which also requires immediate surgical treatment of hemorrhoids.
• very often, small bleedings that bothered you in the first stages of the disease become more profuse. Large blood loss leads to the development of anemia, the quality and properties of blood throughout the body decrease.
• Hemorrhoids of the last stage, when inflamed hemorrhoids are difficult to straighten even by hand, cause deformation of the sphincter muscles, which causes mucus and feces to leak out (wetting hemorrhoids).

Treatment of hemorrhoids after childbirth

How to treat hemorrhoids after childbirth? The treatment regimen depends on the stage of the disease. For acute or chronic hemorrhoids at stage 1 or 2, the use of medications and folk remedies will be sufficient to alleviate the condition. The disease in stages 3 and 4 requires not only the use of medications, but also minimally invasive, and in severe cases, radical surgical operations.

Surgery

For severely inflamed hemorrhoids, minimally invasive methods of surgical intervention are most often used, which are not contraindicated during lactation:

• ligation of hemorrhoidal cones with latex rings;
• cryotherapy;
• infrared and laser coagulation.

All methods are aimed at destroying hemorrhoids in various ways (low temperatures, laser cauterization, disruption of the blood supply to the node, etc.). The procedures do not require hospitalization and quickly and effectively help cope with the disease.

As for radical operations under general anesthesia, the decision here is made only by the attending physician. As a rule, such operations are possible during lactation, but breastfeeding is stopped for up to 24 hours after the application of general anesthesia.

Conservative therapy

Ointments and suppositories for hemorrhoids after childbirth can only be used after consultation with your doctor. Many plant and animal substances that make up drugs pass into breast milk and then into the baby’s body. They can cause allergies and other side effects in a fragile child’s body, which will negatively affect his general condition. Only a doctor can take into account all the nuances and recommend drugs that are truly safe during breastfeeding.

Gel Troxevasin

The gel is used to relieve severe swelling and inflammation caused by blocked hemorrhoidal veins. The drug quickly relieves tissue swelling and helps restore vascular tone. The gel can be used for a long time for chronic hemorrhoids that are difficult to treat. Troxevasin is applied to the affected areas 2 times a day. There is no evidence of negative effects on the body of mother and child during lactation.

Heparin ointment

Improves and normalizes blood flow in tissues, relieves swelling, itching, and reduces enlarged hemorrhoids. The ointment is used until the acute signs of hemorrhoids disappear. The average duration of use of the ointment is from 5 to 14 days. Longer use is possible only after consultation with your doctor. Heparin ointment is not contraindicated for use during lactation.

Relief, Relief Advance

The drug reduces the pronounced symptoms of hemorrhoids, eliminates discomfort, relieves itching and burning, and reduces hemorrhoids. Relief Advance can be used to relieve pain in acute hemorrhoids and after minimally invasive or radical operations in the anorectal area. The ointment is used no more than 4 times a day until acute symptoms disappear. The effect on the child’s body when using the drug for the treatment of hemorrhoids during lactation has not been fully studied due to the insufficient number of facts. Therefore, Relief series ointments are not recommended for use without the permission of the attending physician.

Posterisan

Restores damaged tissue, prevents re-inflammation, enhances the natural protective functions of the skin and mucous membranes. The duration of treatment for hemorrhoids should not be more than 3 weeks. The drug is applied to the affected area in a thin layer after each bowel movement, but not more than 3 times a day. The drug is not excreted in breast milk, therefore it is completely safe during lactation.

Vishnevsky ointment

The ointment relieves inflammation well and prevents the development of purulent processes in hemorrhoids. Quickly restores damaged tissue. Long-term use is possible, more than 14 days, but only in consultation with a doctor. It is necessary to apply the ointment to the affected areas up to 3 times a day. The ointment can be used during lactation.

Candles “Sea buckthorn oil”

For acute symptoms of hemorrhoids, use no more than 2 times a day for 7 days. Extending the period of use is possible only in consultation with a doctor. Sea buckthorn suppositories are absolutely safe for use during lactation.

Homeopathic suppositories with propolis, calendula

They quickly heal abrasions and erosions in the peri-rectal area, relieve pain and burning, and eliminate pathogenic bacteria that cause inflammation in the tissues. For hemorrhoids after childbirth, these drugs can be used effectively only in the initial stages of the disease. For acute and prolonged pain that occurs after bowel movement, it is allowed to increase the number of suppositories used to 2 per day. During lactation, homeopathic suppositories can be used without any restrictions.

Natalsid

Rectal suppositories that effectively relieve pain in acute hemorrhoids. The product prevents the development of pathogenic bacteria, thereby preventing infection of tissues by purulent microorganisms and reducing existing inflammation. Use no more than 2 suppositories per day. Suppositories can be used during lactation.

Anestezol

Suppositories with antiseptic and anesthetic effects. Quickly relieve swelling and improve blood flow in tissues. To normalize the patient’s condition and eliminate acute signs of hemorrhoids, it is enough to use 1 suppository for 7 days. During lactation, suppositories can only be used as prescribed by a doctor in strictly prescribed dosages.

Procto-Glivenol

For severe pain, up to 3 pcs. per day, after the discomfort disappears, the amount is reduced to 1 pc. in a day. Procto-Glyvenol can be used during lactation.

During childbirth, the female body experiences enormous physical stress, all organs and systems work in extreme mode. If contractions are tolerated passively, then pushing requires the woman to actively participate in the process. When pushing, the muscles of the diaphragm and chest press intensively contract, and intra-abdominal and intrauterine pressure increases. The mother herself is pushing hard to push the baby out of the birth canal. The pressure in the pelvic vessels increases sharply. All these factors can provoke the formation of hemorrhoids or aggravate the chronic course of the disease.

Hemorrhoids after childbirth are characterized by impaired blood supply to the rectal area and the presence of varicose veins.

The young mother suffers from:

• burning sensations;
• pain during defecation;
• sensation of a foreign body in the lower intestine;
• bleeding from the rectum;
• external non-aesthetic manifestations.

Causes and mechanism of hemorrhoids during and after childbirth

Postpartum hemorrhoids during breastfeeding are a delicate complication that affects up to 60% of all young mothers. In most cases, the first signs of the disease appear during pregnancy or before. But since the clinical picture is not yet clear, the young mother may decide that the cause of the problem is intense labor.

The main reasons that provoke dilation of the veins of the rectum during pregnancy:

• the growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic vessels, causing increased pressure and stretching of the venous wall;
• formation of nodes due to blood stagnation;
• a high concentration of progesterone (the hormone that maintains pregnancy) leads to a decrease in tone in the vascular walls;
• large fetus or multiple pregnancy;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• sedentary work;
• problems with bowel movements;
• small amount of plant fiber in the diet.

Natural childbirth more often contributes to the formation and manifestation of pathology than delivery by cesarean section. The longer and more difficult the labor, the greater the risk for the mother. An increase in pressure leads to stretching of the vascular wall. When a child passes through the pelvis, its head strongly compresses the vessels of the rectum. As a result, the outflow of blood is disrupted, and the tissues experience hypoxia (oxygen starvation). The blood supply in the lower intestines is disrupted: the influx of arterial blood increases, and the outflow is blocked, resulting in stagnation and stretching of the vein walls. The nodes swell and enlarge, and new ones form.

After a cesarean section, hemorrhoids in nursing mothers more often occur after childbirth. Reasons for the development of pathology:

1. limited mobility in the period after surgery;
2. intestinal motility disorders;
3. difficulty with bowel movements;
4. development of predisposition at the stage of gestation.

In the veins of the rectum of a nursing mother, stagnation begins, they expand and become inflamed, nodes and lumps appear.

Treatment of hemorrhoids during breastfeeding at home

It is important to know! Hemorrhoids after childbirth do not go away on their own. The first consultation from a proctologist on this disease can be obtained within 2-4 days after birth, if the maternity hospital is one of the departments of a multidisciplinary hospital.

A nursing mother in the postpartum period is under close medical supervision. If an obstetrician-gynecologist sees pronounced nodes during an examination, a proctologist is invited to the maternity ward, or the woman herself is referred to this specialist. The doctor conducts an examination, makes a diagnosis, gives recommendations and prescribes treatment taking into account breastfeeding. If there are no indications for surgical removal, the woman is treated at home on her own.

How to treat hemorrhoids after childbirth for a nursing mother? Agents that act locally on the pathological area and do not pass into the milk, since they are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Treatment of hemorrhoids during breastfeeding can be carried out using the following drugs:

Gepatrombin G. The drug is available in the form of ointments and suppositories. External nodes are treated with ointment, suppositories are administered rectally for internal processes. Hepatrombin G helps to reduce the volume of veins, relieves pain, reduces itching, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

The drug thins the blood, which helps eliminate blood clots in the hemorrhoidal vein, eliminates swelling and symptoms of the inflammatory process. A tampon is soaked in the ointment, which is inserted into the anus or the pathological areas are lubricated. Immediately after childbirth, the use of ointment is not recommended; it thins the blood and can cause blood loss.

Candles Posterizan. The suppositories contain E. coli, a culture of microorganisms that activates phagocytosis and increases the body’s own protective properties. The result is a cure without affecting the composition of milk and breastfeeding.

Important advice! When using any medications, a nursing mother should closely monitor the baby’s digestion and the condition of its skin. In case of skin rashes and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract in the baby, breastfeeding is suspended or the medicine for the mother is canceled or replaced.

There is no need to be afraid of surgery: modern clinics actively use low-traumatic techniques that promise quick and painless relief from problems. The following surgical options can be distinguished:

• Sclerotherapy is based on the injection of a sclerosant, a substance that stops blood flow, into the hemorrhoid. The following metamorphoses occur with the fallen ties: they decrease in size and are retracted into the rectum.
• The second option is ligation of the hemorrhoid with latex rings. As a result of such manipulation, the blood supply to the problem area is disrupted and the node is rejected.
• Infrared photocoagulation allows you to cauterize bleeding vessels with a special device - a photocoagulator. The nodes become smaller and press against the intestine.
