Umm embarrassing question but I've got to ask?

Question

Its been 5 months since I had my little one and I STILL have hemorrhoids. When do they stop????

Answer 1

They should have been by now. Best bet is to see a doctor about them (I just went last week for them, the exam is not as bad as you think).

Feel better!

Answer 2

For some people it's just a few months then the go away. For others, like my sis in law... they never go away. It just depends.  

Answer 3

Usually they just go away.. but they can (sadly) stick around.. I gave my mommy one when I was born and that was 21 years ago.. and she's still dealing with it.. :(.. xo

Answer 4

Oh man I am sorry about that! You should def. consult your doctor!  

Answer 5

They might NEVER go away it sucks but its true!

Answer 6

i never hhad them..try TUCKS pads and sitz baths

Answer 7

I had my 1st 5 years ago and they still come back every now and again.  Funny thing is that they were gone while I was pregnant with my last and just came up about a month after he was born.  It has been 5 months and although they are better, they are not gone.

Answer 8

a lot of people don't go to the doctor about this problem and could end up having them for years. i know i wouldn't want to go if i had them still but i'd rather get rid of them than live with them.

to answer your question: i didn't really get them much during my pregnancy so they went away after a few weeks.

but honestly, you should go see a doctor. they see loads of things and this is one that isn't going to embarrass them at all. also, i used to work in a pharmacy and we sold loads and loads of meds for them so it isn't a biggie.

Answer 9

SORRY TO HEAR THAT. MOST LIKELY THEY WILL GO AWAY  BUT IT A SMALL CHANCE THEY MIGHT STAY

Answer 10

I agree--five months seems a little long. With both of my babies, they lasted a max of about 3 months. But every pregnancy is different, and it's definitely not for wimps! So many body changes happen, and some of them stay. With hemorrhoids, it's not very common that they stay a big problem, so I'd recommend seeing your doc in case it could be due to some other issue. My youngest is 8 months old, and I still have smaller flare-ups from time to time, where before I was pregnant, I never had ANY issues. Is this what you're talking about? Or are they pretty severe?

Answer 11

Mine went away around 3 weeks but I think everyone is different. Talk to your doc if you are still worried.

Answer 12
