Hemorrhoids after childbirth treatment. Hemorrhoids got out after childbirth: what to do and how to treat? Hygiene and an active lifestyle as a treatment for hemorrhoids

The locality of "work" is another advantage of rectal liners. In most cases, the active components of suppositories do not penetrate into the systemic circulation and, as a result, into breast milk. Therefore, therapeutic measures do not pose any threat to the child.

And yet, it is necessary to clarify the safest antihemorrhoidal suppositories for a woman who has given birth. It will also be useful for new mothers to know how to use them correctly, and when it is worth abstaining from medicines.

Causes of hemorrhoids after childbirth

The first symptoms of this proctological disease occur in the fairer sex even during the period of bearing a child. Moreover, an ailment is diagnosed at one stage or another in almost half of women in position.

The main reasons for this prevalence of hemorrhoids are an increase in blood volume, as well as an increase in pressure in the pelvic region due to an increase in the uterus. The growing fetus presses the veins through which the blood departs from the perianal zone, resulting in congestion and hemorrhoids.

The situation is exacerbated by the natural birth process. The pushing out of the child occurs due to forced intense attempts. It is they who create extremely powerful pressure on the venous vessels located in the peritoneal region.

Thus, several factors are combined in the process of delivery:

high weight and large size of the baby;
enlarged uterus, pressing on the internal organs;
increase in intraperitoneal pressure during straining.

Layering on each other, these factors significantly increase the load on the rectal cavity. As a result, blood flow is disturbed in the vessels of the anorectal region, which are already damaged and deformed during pregnancy.

If the pressure rises too much, a sharp exacerbation of hemorrhoids is not excluded, including prolapse of cavernous formations from the rectum with subsequent infringement, severe bleeding (if the thinned walls break through).

It is curious that a negative process can occur both immediately after childbirth, and after a while. But it is by no means possible to postpone the treatment of proctological disease for later, since anal varicose veins will progress, and the patient's condition will begin to deteriorate rapidly.

For more information about why it occurs and what are the methods of its treatment, you can learn from the article of our expert.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids

The birth of a child is always a joy, but aggravated hemorrhoids can reduce the feeling of happiness and significantly complicate the care of a newborn. After all, the newly-made mother will have to deal with the unpleasant symptoms of the disease.

Most often, the initial symptoms of the pathological process appear even in the delivery room. This is due to decreased muscle tone and insufficient intestinal peristalsis. As a result, fecal eruption is disturbed and stagnation of blood in the pelvic region increases.

The patient will be able to note the following characteristic signs:

feeling of heaviness in the rectum;
discomfort (burning, tissue irritation);
pain during bowel movements;
bloody discharge from the rectal canal.

In the case of an internal form of hemorrhoidal disease, the prolapse of enlarged cavernous formations from the anus is not excluded. Such a condition is considered a complication of varicose veins of the anorectal vessels and indicates the severe stages of the disease.

If you find such signs, you should immediately contact a specialist. Pathology will not go away on its own, you need competent and comprehensive treatment.

Most often, attending physicians prescribe conservative therapy, which involves the use of medications.

For example, with internal and combined varicose veins of the anal veins, rectal suppositories can be prescribed. The ingredients included in them allow you to quickly cope with negative symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.

Benefits of Candles

Rectal suppositories from internal hemorrhoids after childbirth have a number of undoubted advantages over other pharmacological forms, especially systemic effects.

The drug "works" locally, without passing through the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, the risk of developing undesirable consequences is reduced. In addition, the active substances practically do not penetrate into the systemic circulation.
Many matters do not have enough time, because all care must be given to the newborn. Suppositories in this regard are quite convenient, since they do not need to be prepared. You just need to enter into the anus and lie down a little on the bed.
Suppositories are usually multicomponent and act multilaterally, that is, they fight several symptoms of the disease at once: soreness, inflammation, bleeding, thrombosis, decreased blood tone, etc.

The only weakness of rectal suppositories is the inability to influence one of the causes of hemorrhoidal disease, namely, venous insufficiency. If local treatment is ineffective, the doctor may prescribe more effective, and therefore less safe medications or surgery.

The choice of medicines will depend on whether the woman is breastfeeding or the infant is formula-fed. In the first case, the choice of suppositories is limited, in the second case, the mother can use any drugs, of course, taking into account indications and restrictions.

A specialist proctologist tells about the features of the treatment of hemorrhoids and the safest drugs.

As a conclusion

After childbirth, hemorrhoids are very common, since the female body during the bearing of the baby and directly during the birth process is subjected to serious tests. All this leads to the appearance of negative symptoms.

Rectal suppositories are one of the popular methods of local treatment of hemorrhoidal disease. Their choice depends on the severity of the disease, the leading symptom. In addition, you should also consider whether a woman is breastfeeding or formula feeding. In order not to harm yourself and the child, you need to entrust the selection of medicines to the doctor.

Watch a video about hemorrhoids after childbirth.

Childbirth is a serious test for the female body. The strongest load falls on the pelvic area. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing surprising in the fact that after childbirth, an exhausted woman has unexpected problems, including hemorrhoids. And even if the hemorrhoid did not come out immediately after the birth, then due to the problems with the stool traditional in this period, it can appear in the first weeks (and even days) after discharge from the maternity ward. Almost every second woman has to deal with hemorrhoids after childbirth.

Why do knots appear after childbirth

During pregnancy, stagnation of blood in the pelvis often occurs. The main reason for this is the rapid growth of the fetus and the growing uterus, which put pressure on the veins, reducing blood flow. The higher the gestational age, the more the risk of such stagnation increases.

If hemorrhoids did not immediately come out after childbirth, then in the first weeks after discharge from the maternity ward, it may appear.

The situation is aggravated if a woman gains extra pounds during pregnancy. Excess body weight contributes to even more pressure on the pelvic organs, which leads to the development of hemorrhoids. In the presence of constipation and lack of physical activity, hemorrhoids in women after childbirth are provided.

A pregnant woman undergoes serious changes in the hormonal background, one of the echoes of which is the expansion of the hemorrhoidal vessels and the weakening of the venous walls. That is, the veins during pregnancy become one of the most vulnerable places in the female body. The presence of any provoking factors (excess weight, constipation, etc.) leads to the fact that hemorrhoids come out after childbirth. Even the attempts themselves during childbirth are a serious burden on the veins, which can lead to hemorrhoids with all the ensuing consequences.

What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids

Usually, the signs of hemorrhoids in women after childbirth do not differ from the symptoms of the disease that occurred under other conditions:

Discomfort and pain during bowel movements;
Blood discharge;
Discomfort and heaviness in the intestines;
Discomfort when sitting for a long time;
Irritation, itching and burning around the anus;
Swelling of the anus, induration around the anus.

If preventive measures did not help and the nodes nevertheless got out, then a logical question arises: how to cure hemorrhoids after childbirth? The most important thing is, despite the incredible lack of time due to the baby, to find a couple of hours to go to the proctologist. The sooner you start therapy, the faster the result will come and it will be more effective.

Note!

Running hemorrhoids with inflamed nodes and constant bleeding can negatively affect not only the health of the mother, but also the baby.

Treatments for advanced hemorrhoids may not be compatible with breastfeeding.

Hemorrhoids and lactation

If a woman has discovered hemorrhoids after childbirth, the symptoms of the disease cannot be in doubt, then the first thing to worry about is the preservation of breastfeeding. It is impossible to try to solve the problem on your own, since during lactation it is forbidden to take many seemingly effective drugs. Nevertheless, safe methods of treatment exist, suitable medicines will help you choose a specialist proctologist.

What is the treatment for hemorrhoids after childbirth

Safe medicines

It is better that drugs during lactation are local, since the risk of their components passing into breast milk is much lower. Usually, when hemorrhoids occur after childbirth, treatment occurs with the help of ointments and rectal suppositories. They will help relieve pain and swelling, stop bleeding, remove inflammation and improve blood microcirculation in the veins.

Ointments and gels are effective for treating external bumps, and suppositories for hemorrhoids after childbirth will help to cope with internal nodes. Which drug is best suited in your case, the attending physician will tell you. Now, not only the health of the woman is taken into account, but also the condition of the baby (the presence of congenital diseases, allergic reactions, weight gain, etc.). Approved for use during lactation Anestezin, Neflubin, Bupivacaine. They will help stop bleeding and increase the tone of the veins Vikasol, Glivenol, Endotenol.

The doctor will always be able to choose drugs for hemorrhoids that are allowed when breastfeeding and will not harm the baby. Therefore, it is not advisable to postpone treatment until the end of the lactation period. So you can bring yourself to a stage where only surgery can help. Modern medicine has a sufficient set of methods for getting rid of hemorrhoids during breastfeeding, which will help you fully enjoy the joy of motherhood. Do not panic if you find hemorrhoids after childbirth, modern doctors know well how to treat the problem.

Alternative treatment

During pregnancy and lactation, any treatment should be treated with great caution. Medicinal herbs are no exception, since their impact on the body of the mother and child is not always beneficial. Penetrating into breast milk, decoctions and lotions that are harmless to an adult can harm the baby. Of course, during lactation, it is preferable to choose herbal-based drugs, but only a doctor can make this choice. To get rid of hemorrhoids after childbirth, folk remedies are good, but only after consulting a doctor. It is dangerous to use the advice of grandmothers and acquaintances without medical permission.

The most popular folk recipes are as follows:

- Three times a day, drink fresh rowan juice diluted with clean water;
- Wash the anus area daily with a chilled decoction of wild strawberries;
- Lubricate the outer bumps with celandine juice, insert a cotton swab with celandine juice into the anus at night;

A good remedy for constipation is the daily use of vegetable oil, olive oil is best.

The main difficulty for a nursing mother is that the products should not cause an undesirable reaction in the child. Citrus fruits and red berries are considered strong allergens. Fresh apples, dishes with cabbage and peas can bring tummy discomfort to the baby. Plums are prohibited. Watermelons and melons should be introduced into your diet very carefully.

To prevent constipation, an adult should drink at least two liters of fluid every day. A nursing woman loses a lot of fluid with milk (up to 1 liter), so you need to carefully monitor the maintenance of the body's water balance.

Exercise for hemorrhoids

In the postpartum period, a young mother thinks least of all about sports. But it is during this period that moderate physical activity is extremely important. After childbirth, it is important to strengthen the pelvic muscles as early as possible. Special gymnastics will also help increase vascular tone, improve blood circulation and stimulate peristalsis.

Regular physical activity on the pelvic area will help not only restore the muscles to their former elasticity. Special medical gymnastics is a powerful prevention for the development of hemorrhoids. You need to start doing a little exercise even during the period of bearing a baby, then after childbirth, hemorrhoids will not overshadow the joy of motherhood. The set of exercises is simple and can be performed even at home.

The undoubted benefit will bring daily walks in the fresh air, which are so nice to do with a baby in a stroller. Just make sure that you do not have to lift a heavy stroller, entrust it to men. Walking will not only strengthen the necessary muscles, but also enrich the blood with oxygen.

Hygiene for hemorrhoids in the postpartum period

In the presence of hemorrhoids, you will have to observe some features of personal hygiene. After a bowel movement, you can no longer use the usual toilet paper, replace it with wet wipes. Better yet, wash your anus with cold water after every bowel movement. This will not only prevent the spread of infection, but also strengthen the walls of blood vessels. After washing, you need to apply an ointment for hemorrhoids after childbirth, which the doctor prescribed. If you were a fan of baths and saunas, they will need to be abandoned for the duration of treatment for hemorrhoids.

Strict adherence to the doctor's instructions, along with proper nutrition, daily physical education and careful hygiene will help mom get rid of hemorrhoids once and for all. A healthy and happy mother is a strong and calm baby. And remember that breastfeeding is not an obstacle to the treatment of such an unpleasant disease as hemorrhoids.

Every third pregnant woman faces such a disease as hemorrhoids and, as a rule, there is no mortal danger in this. Despite the fact that this disease does not harm the fetus in any way, it is very unpleasant. To date, many methods have been invented for its treatment. To understand why the nodes come out in women after childbirth, you need to consider the very process of the birth of a child.

Hemorrhoids is a vascular disease that occurs due to stagnation of blood in the vessels of the small pelvis. Therefore, if you have a bump, it’s too early to panic, you need to start treating it.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids after childbirth

Probably, each person can visually imagine what hemorrhoids look like after childbirth, the size of the bumps that are visible from the outside can be different. Sometimes during pregnancy it is asymptomatic, and only after the birth of the child does it begin to develop, giving the woman certain inconveniences. This disease looks far from attractive, and besides, it causes discomfort. Its symptoms include the following:

burning in the anus;
pain when going to the toilet;
itching of the anus;
sensation of a foreign object in the anus;
feeling of pressure in the rectum.

As medical practice shows, these are harmless symptoms and when they appear, you need to consult a doctor. Otherwise, there is a high probability of developing hemorrhoids, which is manifested by such symptoms:

bleeding from the anus;
the appearance of cracks in the anus;
sharp pain while going to the toilet.

As a rule, hemorrhoids after childbirth proceed in an acute form. To such a question as whether hemorrhoids always appear after childbirth, a negative answer can be given. There are some women who do not face this disease.

Can hemorrhoids go away on their own after childbirth or do they need to be treated?

Many people say that it is not necessary to treat hemorrhoids after childbirth, it will pass on its own. But in fact, this is a myth, and the disease will not go away by itself. Doctors use two types of treatment: conservative and surgical. The first type of treatment is the use of drugs, and the other type is surgery. Surgery is needed when the hemorrhoidal bumps are large and cannot be treated with medication.

As a rule, a lot of drugs have been allocated for treatment, these can be:

candles;
ointments;
pills.

Ointments and suppositories are effective in the first stages of the disease. Even if a woman has small nodes, they need to be treated. You can also resort to traditional medicine in the treatment (it is an additional direction). But you need to get a doctor's advice before using this or that method.

If the pregnant woman did not pay attention to protection against this disease in time, then it is necessary to consult a doctor to prescribe treatment at the first symptoms of the disease. It depends on his speed and methods how quickly he will pass.

But if you do not take any therapeutic measures, then the disease will never go away. Many people are interested in this question: "How long does hemorrhoids go after the birth of a child?". The answer to it will be ambiguous, the duration of the disease depends on the treatment. If it is chosen correctly, then on the 2-3rd day its symptoms will begin to recede. And in about a week, there will be no trace of the disease.

However, there are also cases when the disease did not go away even for 2 years with the constant treatment of a woman. In fact, you need to engage in complex treatment, review your daily routine and diet.

But in most cases, the answer to the question of how long hemorrhoids last after childbirth looks like this - 7 days with proper treatment. Can the disease go away on its own? No, the disease will not go away on its own, it can only seem to a woman after the symptoms of the disease subside.

Causes of hemorrhoids after childbirth

Many people believe that hemorrhoids come out only because of the process itself, during which you have to push. But in fact, this is a delusion; there are many reasons for its appearance. Of course, one of the factors for its appearance can be called the fact that a woman is pushing, trying to “push” the baby out with her muscles. Other factors in the development of the disease include the following:

sedentary work;
malnutrition;
heredity.
sedentary lifestyle.

If a hemorrhoid came out after childbirth, then, most likely, the mucous membrane was damaged during the birth of a child. As practice shows, after the second birth, hemorrhoids in most cases come out, if this problem also tormented the woman during the first birth.

It is worth noting that a person does not always know about the development of the disease, because it can also be asymptomatic. As a rule, people only begin to notice it when the bumps come out.

According to Dr. Komarovsky, hemorrhoids after childbirth are a “normal” phenomenon that is easily treatable, although it sometimes looks incurable. There are several methods of treatment, but which of them will be effective for a particular case, only the doctor can decide. When asked why he remained after childbirth or showed himself again, the doctor answers unambiguously - it is all the fault of the restructuring of the hormonal background and the process of attempts during the birth of the child.

Prevention of ruptures and hemorrhoids during childbirth

As you know, constipation can cause hemorrhoids. Therefore, to prevent it, you need to follow a diet rich in fiber. If you have got it, then the following foods should be included in the diet:

cereals;
prunes;
buckwheat grain;
oatmeal;
dairy products;
barley porridge and others.

Even a woman who does not suffer from hemorrhoids should adhere to this diet, since this food will not harm the baby in any way, but will only benefit. In this case, you will have to refrain from the following dishes:

strong tea;
salty, smoked and fatty foods;
chocolate;
products enriched with animal fats;

The first thing to start with is to normalize your stool, that is, eat right. The bowels must be emptied every day. To do this, you need to drink a glass of warm water every morning, and consume foods that have a laxative effect throughout the day. It can but:

If hemorrhoids jumped out after childbirth, then the doctor may prescribe physical exercises aimed at strengthening the pelvic muscles. They are effective in both preventing and treating the disease.

One of the simple and effective exercises is the Kegel method, which consists in compressing and relaxing the muscles of the anus. First you need to pull the muscle into yourself, and after ten seconds, relax.

To improve the condition, you need to move as much as possible. If hemorrhoids come out during childbirth, then you need to perform such simple tasks:

Lie on your back. Raise the pelvis and stay in this position for a few seconds. Descend. Relax. Run 10-20 approaches.
Standing on all fours, bend and bend your back (kitty). Do 30-40 approaches.
Lie on your back, perform "Scissors". Run 20-30 approaches.

Important! Loads need to be gradually increased, every day add 4-5 approaches.

It is worth remembering that if you have hemorrhoids after childbirth, then you should not delay the visit to the doctor, since the disease does not disappear by itself. Many are interested in the question: "How long does hemorrhoids go after childbirth?". The answer to it was formulated above, but do not forget about the individual characteristics of the organism. More precisely, this question can be answered by a doctor observing the patient's condition.

Hemorrhoids after childbirth - methods of treating the disease

Such a problem as hemorrhoids after childbirth or during pregnancy has been and remains relevant. This is confirmed by her extensive discussion on the forums of expectant and already held mothers.

What is hemorrhoids? What to do with him before and after childbirth? What are its symptoms? Is it possible to get hemorrhoids after a caesarean?

Hemorrhoids is a disease of the venous system, which is manifested by a nodular dilatation of the veins of the lower rectum. These extensions are hemorrhoids.

Causes of the disease

The development of hemorrhoids is associated with causes that cause stagnation and increased blood pressure in the vessels of the rectum:

congenital features of the venous wall;
insufficient physical activity;
the systematic use of certain drugs, for example, hormonal contraceptives;
excess body weight;
pregnancy;
constipation.

Hemorrhoids after childbirth are often “born” during pregnancy. This is due to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure and stagnation of blood in the vessels of the small pelvis. During childbirth, the pressure on the venous walls increases sharply, which leads to the formation of hemorrhoids.

Note! Hemorrhoids can occur not only after natural childbirth, but also after a caesarean section.

By location, the cones can be external and internal. The external form of the disease is different in that the nodes are available for inspection. They look like small circular formations ranging in size from a pea to a cherry. Often, the external nodes form a cluster in the form of a corolla around the anus.

With internal hemorrhoids, the bumps are located behind the anal sphincter. They cannot be seen, but they often present with hemorrhoidal bleeding. As a result, posthemorrhagic anemia develops, which is dangerous during pregnancy and after childbirth. Other symptoms of the disease with the internal location of the nodes are also possible.

Clinical symptoms of hemorrhoids

Postpartum hemorrhoids can be acute or chronic. In this case, childbirth can be physiological or by caesarean section. The acute form develops suddenly, and the chronic one is characterized by a long and milder course.

The first symptoms of hemorrhoids after childbirth are itching, a feeling of heat and burning in the anus, which are aggravated during bowel movements. Due to injury of the mucous membrane with feces, intense pain also appears. But after a chair it passes.

The nodes increase in size over time, and as a result of inflammation, they turn red and swell. Pain in the anus becomes permanent, aggravated by movement and in a sitting position. Severe swelling of the tissues of the perineum leads to spasm of the sphincter of the bladder and urinary retention.

Acute hemorrhoids can be complicated by necrosis of the tissues of the node, hemorrhoidal bleeding, the formation of cracks or inflammation of the tissues around the rectum - paraproctitis.

Chronic hemorrhoids after childbirth develops gradually, imperceptibly for the patient. Periodically, after defecation, there is a burning sensation and itching in the anal area, there is a feeling of insufficient emptying of the rectum. Pain in the anus is intermittent and short-lived. Bloody discharge from the rectum after stool appears and gradually increases.

During pregnancy, symptoms of the disease may be absent and appear only in the postpartum period. This is due to the fact that during childbirth, the head of the child compresses the vascular formations of the small pelvis. This causes an acute violation of the venous outflow and an increase in pressure in the vessels of the rectum.

After childbirth, enlarged internal hemorrhoids periodically fall out of the rectum. This happens during stool, and then the knots go back on their own. Later, the prolapse of nodes is observed during heavy lifting. But they are no longer set on their own, but only with the help of their hands. In advanced cases of hemorrhoids, the bumps do not go away at all, necrosis develops in them, or massive hemorrhoidal bleeding occurs.

Methods for diagnosing hemorrhoids

If the node crawled out, the diagnosis of the disease is simple and based on an examination of the anus.

Outwardly, hemorrhoids after childbirth looks typical - in the form of formations of a circular cross section, resembling peas. To identify internal hemorrhoids, determine their number and size, a digital examination of the anus is performed.

In addition, sigmoidoscopy (endoscopic examination of the rectum) and irrigoscopy (X-ray examination with a contrast agent) are used to detect them.

Treatment of the disease after childbirth

If symptoms of the disease appear, you should not wait until everything goes away by itself. It is necessary to start treatment immediately so that there are no complications. After all, inflammation of soft tissues and hemorrhoidal bleeding are dangerous during pregnancy and after childbirth.

The treatment of the disease should be comprehensive, including not only drugs, but also dietary nutrition, physiotherapy exercises and, possibly, some kind of folk remedy.

Physical activity

To prevent venous stasis in the vessels of the small pelvis, you need:
dose physical activity and heavy lifting;
daily walk in the fresh air, walking at a calm pace for at least 1.5-2 km;
regularly do special exercises from physiotherapy exercises.

Note! A caesarean section should not limit a woman's physical activity. The more movements, the less the risk of adhesions in the pelvis.

Medical treatment

Medical treatment of hemorrhoids after childbirth consists in prescribing laxatives, venotonics, and agents that improve blood microcirculation.

Antihemorrhoidal ointments and suppositories are used as local treatment.

Treatment with folk remedies

Traditional medicine offers remedies for hemorrhoids for both external and internal use.

Locally used:

therapeutic enemas with a decoction of blueberries, cold water and tannin;
sitz baths with a decoction of chestnut seeds and inflorescences of medicinal chamomile, a decoction of onions and alum.

Disease prevention

Knowing how to get rid of postpartum hemorrhoids is necessary, but this is not enough. After all, disease prevention is much more important. It is simple and should be practiced throughout pregnancy, and then after childbirth, if you want the knot not to come out.

First of all, prevention is a mobile lifestyle. Hiking is mandatory and should be daily. If you regularly do more and special exercises, then strengthen the muscles of the pelvis and improve blood circulation in it. Avoid wearing tight clothing. And of course, follow a diet for normal bowel function and prevent constipation.

Try not to push too hard during a bowel movement.
Observe personal hygiene. After each act of defecation, wash the anus area with cool water and blot it with a napkin, and do not rub it with a towel.
Use a mild laxative for constipation.
Eliminate black bread, cabbage, legumes from the diet, that is, foods that cause excessive gas formation. Limit the use of hot spices and seasonings.
Include vegetables and fruits rich in pectin, lean meat and fish, honey, wholemeal bread and bakery products, bran, prunes and dried apricots in your daily meals.

And remember that hemorrhoids after childbirth and in the process of bearing a child are not at all uncommon. But it can be avoided if preventive measures are taken.

Very severe hemorrhoids after childbirth

Intimate health problems often worry women. The long-awaited process of the birth of a child, although perceived by society as an exceptionally positive event, is, however, from a medical point of view, it is extremely ambiguous. The process of childbirth is not only long, difficult and painful for a woman, but also carries the risk of injury and complications.

Unfortunately, many women are faced with the situation of large, ugly hemorrhoids after childbirth. It is impossible at the stage of the course of pregnancy to accurately predict whether such a disease will develop, and what its severity will be. The formation of nodes can occur long before a woman's pregnancy, and begin to progress into a serious pathological process during pregnancy due to compression of the venous network of the small pelvis by a growing fetus. However, this process often occurs latently during pregnancy. And in the process of childbirth, with significant straining, large hemorrhoids are detected by both the doctor and the patient. When hemorrhoids become very inflamed after childbirth, a woman begins to experience significant difficulties and great discomfort, and so on in a difficult time.

Causes of severe hemorrhoids after childbirth

The venous network that surrounds the rectum changes pathologically under the influence of a number of factors, which leads to the formation of large hemorrhoids. In general, we can distinguish the following main reasons for the development of severe hemorrhoids in a woman:

Weakness of the venous wall and predisposition to varicose veins (including hemorrhoidal).
Heart failure of the right ventricular type (including those caused by heart defects).
Portal hypertension is an increase in pressure in the portal vein of the liver.
Prolonged chronic constipation, due to errors in the diet, pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.

The process of childbirth only aggravates such a pathological process. Therefore, there is a strong hemorrhoids after childbirth. It occurs for the following reasons:

Weakening and stretching of the muscles of the pelvic floor during childbirth with straining activity.
Too large fetus, which leads to severe stretching and perineal injury.
Thrombosis of the venous network of the small pelvis during pregnancy or occurred in the postpartum period.

Thus, a strong huge hemorrhoids after childbirth occurs in women who have such a disease before pregnancy, or is a consequence of hemorrhoidal vein thrombosis, including as a result of trauma to the pelvic floor muscles. In this case, severe hemorrhoids do not go away after childbirth, even when using all conservative methods.

Signs of severe hemorrhoids after childbirth

Symptoms of severe hemorrhoids after childbirth are the following signs:

Intense pain and severe discomfort in the anus, both at rest and during exercise, the act of defecation. Any trip to the toilet becomes a big problem precisely because of the knot that crawled out against the background of straining.
The presence of large hemorrhoids, which are palpated independently by the patient, tend not to be reduced, and are of considerable size.
The appearance of traces of scarlet blood in the stool. If such bleeding does not go away, then the risk of anemia and other pathological processes increases.
When a large hemorrhoid is inflamed, it becomes extremely painful and hot to the touch.

With self-identification of the disease in the postpartum period, a woman should inform the doctor as soon as possible. This is due to the fact that severe prolapse of hemorrhoids can also be accompanied by prolapse and damage to the rectal mucosa, as well as undiagnosed perineal ruptures. The delay in the treatment of this problem does not pass without a trace. With a strong inflammatory process that can occur and accompany large hemorrhoids in the postpartum period, the woman in labor also has an increased body temperature, weakness, chills.

What to do if there is severe hemorrhoids after childbirth?

When a huge hemorrhoids arose, what should a woman do in the first place, the attending physician should indicate. This process usually rarely goes away on its own. In such a situation, self-medication, the use of traditional medicine, etc., is unacceptable. In addition to an obstetrician-gynecologist, it is also necessary to consult a surgeon and a proctologist to decide on the type of surgical intervention to eliminate the disease. If a woman has a huge hemorrhoid after childbirth and it hurts, causing severe discomfort, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed by a doctor. However, when taking such drugs, it is strongly recommended to stop breastfeeding the baby, since there is a huge risk of a negative effect of the drugs on the newborn. Therefore, the most optimal solution to this problem is the removal of large hemorrhoids surgically or with the help of sclerotherapy, as soon as the condition of the woman in labor allows it.

Surgically, it is possible to achieve a stable remission of the disease, which will allow a woman to get rid of such an unpleasant complication that arose due to childbirth, such as severe hemorrhoids with huge nodes. In the postoperative period, the probable cause of the development of the pathological process is also corrected - the patient's nutrition is normalized, heart failure (if any) and venous tone are corrected.

What to do if hemorrhoids come out before childbirth?

Physiological changes occurring during pregnancy often cause the development of hemorrhoids. The disease during the period of bearing a child is asymptomatic, but can be aggravated during childbirth, so it is very important to get rid of hemorrhoids before childbirth.

Causes of the occurrence and development of hemorrhoids in pregnant women

Hemorrhoids is a vascular disease associated with stagnation of blood in the vessels of the small pelvis. The disease develops mainly in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle, or who do not watch their diet and are prone to frequent constipation.

However, expectant mothers can also suffer from hemorrhoids. An exacerbation of hemorrhoids before childbirth is especially dangerous for those pregnant women who have previously encountered this problem.

Carrying a child is a heavy physical load for the female body. Therefore, during the entire pregnancy, the expectant mother should take care of her health. You need to be especially careful after the 30th week of pregnancy and at the first symptoms of hemorrhoids, consult a specialist: although the disease does not interfere with the natural process of childbirth, you should not allow it to worsen. If hemorrhoids got out before childbirth, you should know that hemorrhoids increase the pain of the birth process. In addition, with attempts, a rupture of hemorrhoids is possible, which is fraught with large blood loss.

There are several causes of hemorrhoids in pregnant women:

A change in the hormonal background - in the blood of a woman, the level of progesterone rises, as a result of which the tone of the vessels of the small pelvis decreases, the walls lose their elasticity, relax and stretch more easily.
Constipation, which is also caused by progesterone, which negatively affects intestinal motility. The feces harden, the pregnant woman has to push, the hemorrhoids increase in size. If a pregnant woman suffered from hemorrhoids before childbirth, then constipation during pregnancy is fraught with an exacerbation of the disease.
Enlargement of the uterus. With the growth of the fetus, the uterus stretches, descends into the small pelvis, pinching the veins and intestines. The result is a deterioration in venous blood flow and hemorrhoids.

As a preventive measure for hemorrhoids, the expectant mother needs to move a lot, engage in physiotherapy exercises and perform special exercises to prevent blood flow disorders in the small pelvis.

A timely appeal to a specialist will help eliminate the problem and prevent exacerbation of hemorrhoids both before or during childbirth, and in the postpartum period.

Symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease

At the initial stage of hemorrhoids, it is rather difficult to recognize the problem - the development is almost asymptomatic. However, by 31-38 weeks, a pregnant woman feels some discomfort in the anal area, there is a feeling of pressure, a sensation of a foreign body in the rectum, pain, burning and itching appear. Pain increases after a bowel movement, especially if the expectant mother suffers from constipation.

The closer the date of birth, the more pronounced the symptoms of the disease. Hemorrhoids increase in size, prolapse of external nodes during bowel movements is possible, which is accompanied by severe pain.

Finding spotting after a bowel movement is a pretty good reason to see a doctor immediately. This is a sign of damage to the hemorrhoids, which, if not treated in time, can lead to serious consequences.

How to treat hemorrhoids before childbirth?

Hemorrhoids got out before childbirth, what to do?

Pregnancy and subsequent childbirth always lead to certain changes in a woman's body. Many chronic diseases are exacerbated during this period. These diseases include hemorrhoids - it can occur for the first time, or worsen if it was there before.

The gestational period itself, as well as the prenatal period itself, are accompanied by various changes in the female body. This acts as the reason that hemorrhoids come out before childbirth. Knowing these factors, you can easily influence them by pharmacological and non-drug methods:

Hormonal changes. Throughout the nine months of pregnancy, progesterone dominates in the female body. And before childbirth, its concentration increases even more. This hormone has a specific effect on the muscles of the rectal region and blood vessels - the cavernous nodes increase and begin to fall out.
Change in intrapelvic pressure. The uterus, enlarged many times over, with the fetus in it, changes the amount of pressure in the pelvic cavity. As a result, the nodes swell and fall, going beyond the rectum. After giving birth, everything is the same.
Lifestyle change. A pregnant woman is forced to lead a lifestyle that exacerbates chronic hemorrhoids. This is a restriction of physical activity and a change in diet.

All these reasons arise in combination - this aggravates the course of the disease.

Non-drug treatment of hemorrhoids before childbirth

What to do if hemorrhoids come out before childbirth? Naturally, a woman before childbirth is undesirable excessive use of drugs. Therefore, if the disease manifests itself insignificantly, it is worth trying to get rid of it with non-drug methods.

The first thing you can and should do is adjust your diet. A woman does not need to limit herself in food before childbirth. It is required to revise the diet so that most of it is made up of healthy foods. Food should help improve bowel function and prevent constipation.

What to do with nutrition? To do this, the diet includes fruits and vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals rich in fiber.

Do not forget about physical activity. There are special complexes of gymnastic exercises for pregnant women. Some of them are just aimed at eliminating varicose veins in the rectal area. They can be done throughout pregnancy. Hiking is also helpful.

Of the methods of traditional medicine, it is quite possible to apply lotions from grated potatoes to the area of \u200b\u200bhemorrhoids.

If these methods do not help and the disease progresses, you should consult a specialist. He will select the necessary medicines against hemorrhoids before childbirth.

Medical treatment of hemorrhoids before childbirth

For pregnant women, suppositories and ointments are allowed.

Sea buckthorn and methyluracil suppositories contribute to the healing of the wound surface of hemorrhoids, reducing the inflammatory process. Apply rectally, one suppository per day.

Procto-Glivenol - suppositories with analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. Approved for use only in the third trimester of pregnancy, as well as after childbirth.

Tablet forms of hemorrhoids before childbirth are not recommended. They can only be used after childbirth, and if the woman is not breastfeeding.

Prevention of hemorrhoids before childbirth

In order to prevent the development of the disease before childbirth, a woman from the very beginning of pregnancy should pay great attention to prevention. Even if she has never been bothered by this disease, pregnancy can provoke hemorrhoids.

This will worsen the woman's well-being and complicate the process of childbirth. To prevent this from happening, preventive methods are used.

During the entire period of pregnancy, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy diet aimed at preventing constipation. The diet should include vegetables and fruits rich in fiber and rutin. Food should be enriched with vitamins and proteins - this is aimed at strengthening the vascular wall and preventing the development of hemorrhoids.

It is very useful for the prevention of hemorrhoids before childbirth to perform special gymnastic exercises. They can be performed locally - these are compressing and unclenching the sphincter of the rectum. There are also general gymnastic exercises that contribute to the normalization of intrapelvic and intra-abdominal pressure, strengthening the muscles of the perineum.

If at the end of pregnancy, before or after childbirth, a hemorrhoid has come out, it is impossible to delay treatment. If in the normal state a woman can suffer this disease and recover on her own, then during pregnancy it can be more difficult and complicate the process of giving birth to a child.

More than half of women who give birth suffer from hemorrhoidal disease. The main signs of hemorrhoids are bleeding, external nodes, fringes. The internal nodes are characterized by scarlet blood. The frequency and intensity of bleeding varies. Bloody discharge may be scanty. Sometimes blood drips and even flows in trickles. With prolonged bleeding, obvious signs of anemia appear:

nausea;
weakness;
low pressure;
dizziness.

Blood-filled hemorrhoids periodically fall out. Their infringement and thrombosis is accompanied by severe pain. In the area of the anus, seals (infiltrates) of a rounded shape are determined, they do not have a bluish-purple color. If the node is not set in time, it necrotic, ruptures and bleeds.

Intestinal bleeding can be caused by other diseases, including cancer. Therefore, you need to consult a doctor and carefully examine.

If treatment is delayed

Hemorrhoids are a delicate disease. Women, instead of going to a proctologist, try to treat postpartum hemorrhoids on their own. But folk remedies and medications can temporarily alleviate the patient's condition and significantly aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids after childbirth. Complications of the disease:

weakening of the ligamentous apparatus;
paraproctitis - inflammation of the tissue around the rectum;
cracks in the rectal mucosa;
adhesions;
pararectal fistulas requiring surgical intervention.

Add hemorrhoids after childbirth symptoms of inflammation of the nodes with the formation of perineal abscesses. The pain becomes constant, the temperature rises. A formidable complication, sepsis, can develop.

Attack on constipation

One of the reasons for the exacerbation or appearance of hemorrhoidal disease after the birth of a child is persistent constipation. Women, because of labor pains, are afraid of the appearance of additional painful sensations during bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids after childbirth and establish a painless stool?

You need to start with nutrition, which is an integral part of the treatment of postpartum hemorrhoids in the maternity hospital and at home. The daily diet of a woman includes:

dairy products;
food rich in vegetable fiber - raw vegetables and fruits, greens;
vegetable oils;
natural juices with pulp.

Raisins, dried apricots, figs also contain vegetable fiber and are recommended for constipation. Pears, on the contrary, are rich in tannins; when consumed in large quantities, they make it difficult to release the intestines from feces.

A valuable dietary product is bran - a hard shell of cereals that contains an abundance of dietary fiber and fiber. To prepare a dish for constipation, it is enough to stir 2-3 tablespoons of wheat bran in a glass of kefir or light yogurt. After childbirth, preference is given to wholemeal bread. The more bran contained in bakery products, the better the intestines will be emptied. What should be temporarily abandoned:

chocolate, cocoa, strong coffee;
baking from flour of the highest and first grade - cakes, pastries, buns, pies, pancakes;
pasta;
hard fats;
fatty meat, sausages, sausages;
any alcohol.

Having got rid of constipation without medication, a woman will be able to calmly breastfeed a newborn and use the toilet without fear of upcoming pain.

Toilet without pain

If the diet did not help, how to go to the toilet after childbirth without severe pain? You will have to resort to medication. In order for a bowel movement to be painless, the stool must be soft. To do this, you need to drink a lot and take mild laxatives. Doctors recommend:

Duphalac 30-40 ml in the morning daily before meals;
Forlax - a laxative powder with a flavored additive, not absorbed in the intestines;
disposable fast-acting microclyster Microlax (15 minutes);
Mucofalk is a plant-based laxative;
suppositories with papaverine relieve spasms;
suppositories Relief-Advance anesthetize and weaken.

The proposed means are safe, not addictive. Contains harmless or natural ingredients. Can be used after childbirth while breastfeeding.

Proctosedyl suppositories are suitable for women who are not breastfeeding. They include the glucocorticosteroid hydrocortisone, the antibacterial drug flamicetin, and the anticoagulant heparin. Candles anesthetize, relieve inflammation and swelling of tissues.

The composition of the ointment Aurobin also includes a corticosteroid prednisolone, an anesthetic lidocaine, vitamins of group "B". The agent is freely absorbed into the blood, therefore, after childbirth, it is contraindicated to treat hemorrhoids with ointment during breastfeeding.

Hemorrhoids after childbirth treatment begins directly in the hospital. The woman in labor is carefully set the scars that have fallen out. Appoint:

warm baths with potassium permanganate;
antiseptic lotions with a solution of furacilin;
painkillers with 0.5% novocaine;
absorbable compresses with Vishnevsky ointment.

With thrombosis of hemorrhoids, suppositories and ointments with heparin, the enzyme preparation chymitripsin, UHF are indicated. How to treat hemorrhoids after childbirth with persistent bleeding? Locally applied tamponade of the bleeding node gelatin self-absorbable sponge "Spongostan". Its volume can increase by 45 times. Therefore, the sponge is successfully used for heavy hemorrhoidal bleeding. What is the treatment for hemorrhoids?

The cream with the same name includes about a dozen natural ingredients. Apply directly to problem areas. Relieves pain, judgment, burning and inflammation, heals small wounds.

Surgery is a radical treatment for hemorrhoids after childbirth. They resort to it when the diet, exercise therapy, regimen and conservative therapy did not help. Absolute indications for surgical intervention are:

constant loss of nodes;
heavy bleeding;
anemia due to bleeding.

Advanced hemorrhoidectomy according to Milligan-Morgan remains the classic method of removing internal and external nodes. The operation is quite traumatic and is performed under general anesthesia. Epidural anesthesia may be used for pain relief. In this case, the anesthetic is injected into the epidural space of the spine, after which the part of the body below the waist loses sensation. Cavernous bodies are excised in a certain sequence. First, the node is removed, the position of which corresponds to 3 hours of the dial, then 7 and 11.

Proctologists are armed with more gentle methods that allow them to effectively treat hemorrhoids after childbirth and reduce the time spent in the hospital. The last fact is decisive for nursing mothers. At the initial stage of the disease, an endosurgical operation can be performed to desarterize internal hemorrhoids.

What is its essence. Blood is delivered to the cavernous bodies by arteries. They are located and bandaged using one small device. After bandaging, blood does not flow to the hemorrhoids, and they collapse. Other surgical treatment for postpartum hemorrhoids:

cryosurgery - deep freezing of hemorrhoids with subsequent tissue necrosis, is rarely used;
sclerotherapy - the introduction of a sclerosing substance into the node, causing a weak inflammatory reaction that destroys the node;
ligation (ligation of knots);
coagulation of nodes laser - the method is based on the ability of a laser beam to coagulate tissues by cauterization, leaving a small scar;
infrared coagulation - is carried out by a coagulator device that emits infrared waves, which are converted in the node into thermal coagulating energy.

Operable hemorrhoids after childbirth how to treat? Relatively recently, in Russia, the operation of removing hemorrhoids with a disposable Longo device began to be used. It is less traumatic than hemorrhoidectomy, and hemorrhoids can be cured under local anesthesia. Hemorrhoids are not removed, only part of the rectal mucosa is excised. The nodes themselves are pulled up and fixed.

Hemorrhoids appear in a fairly large number of women throughout pregnancy and worsen after childbirth. Why does this disease appear? What to do in this case? I heard these questions from the doctor: do complex therapeutic measures, take immediate measures to prevent the exacerbation and development of the disease.

Why did hemorrhoids appear after childbirth?

There are several reasons for

The older the mother the more likely it is to occur. A young girl who is carrying her first child is unlikely to know about the existence of such a disease. The second and third pregnancies are most often accompanied by hemorrhoids.
During pregnancy a woman gains about 10 kilograms of weight, this is an additional factor that can provoke the onset of the disease.
An enlarged uterus , which puts pressure on the veins of the pelvic region. This can cause congestion in the veins, and later inflammation.
natural hormone (progesterone), which is produced by the female body, increases during pregnancy. Thus, the influence of progesterone causes relaxation of the veins, resulting in swelling.
At the expectant mother according to physiological signs, constipation appears, as the tone of the intestine decreases and pressure on the uterus increases.
During childbirth with attempts, intra-abdominal pressure increases, which can complicate the situation and lead to the expansion of hemorrhoidal veins and the formation of nodes.

The ailment that has arisen before pregnancy and during childbirth is aggravated after the birth of a child.

Traumatic childbirth and the large weight of the child provoke a full-fledged hemorrhoids.

Therapeutic exercises for hemorrhoids

Many different types are known preventive and therapeutic exercises . My choice was a set of Kegel exercises. Regular Kegel exercises are said to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, thereby increasing the blood supply to the rectal area.

Stages of exercises

Such classes should not be carried out if acute hemorrhoids have developed and or there is a threat of premature birth.

You need to start the exercises in the “lying down” position.

Bend your legs at the knee joint and place on your feet. In this position, you will feel the muscles of the pelvic floor and be able to contract them correctly, the muscles of the back and the press are not affected here.

Perform slow contractions and muscle relaxation . Tighten the muscles so that the anus retracts for 3-5 seconds, then relax them. Subsequently, increase the time to 10 seconds. It is advisable to repeat this exercise 10-15 times.
High-speed tension of the pelvic floor muscles. The bottom line is that the reductions each time should be carried out as intensively as possible. At the beginning, such muscle contractions are done for 30 seconds, and then the tension and relaxation of the muscles are brought up to 1 minute.
This exercise is similar to the natural urge to defecate or urinate. . The muscles of the pelvis tighten, as if pushing something from the inside. Increasing the strength of muscle contraction to a maximum, followed by a gradual decrease in intensity.

Push-up exercises for hemorrhoids should be done 10-15 times, it will take you 1-2 minutes.

Daily Kegel exercises will give a good result in the treatment of hemorrhoids . The complex can be repeated 2-3 times a day. If the doctor allowed this complex to be done (it cannot be performed when the disease develops) and you understand how the right muscles work, this can be done in the “sitting” and even “standing” state.
