How to get rid of hemorrhoids?

My friend had her first baby 2years ago and it resulted her to have a really bad hemmoroid. Now she is currently pregnant and due on November, she said she is terrified of pushing during labor since she had a hemmoroid by pushing from her first baby. Did you other mamas have had same experience or had a hemmoroid and how was your experience during/while giving birth?

Tell her to mention it to her dr. They’ll help

Didn’t notice them during birth of 2nd baby. Was unmedicated & easier to push the second time & she came out with one push. I’m sure I was mistaken but I swear one of my nurses said, “Oh, I remember you from your hemorrhoids.” :joy: Still have ‘em decades later though!

Kinda tmi but i was cut front to back (kids had some big heads) so I used witch hazel pads to prevent any, and if I did get one I used those to help get them gone as well as keep the area clean… The real trouble was after I had them and had to use the bathroom… It helped with that was well as the spray they give you.

I got a hemorrhoid and I didn’t even do any pushing due to c-section. I think it’s just a pregnancy thing.
