Pregnant women are under three major pressures during pregnancy, they are sensitive and extremely hardworking.

So, can pregnant women with hemorrhoids give birth naturally? What are the causes of hemorrhoids in pregnant women? What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women? Let's take a look.
Can pregnant women with hemorrhoids have vaginal delivery
If pregnant women meet the conditions for vaginal delivery, they can choose vaginal delivery. Because babies are delivered through the vagina, pregnant women may have some impact on hemorrhoids during childbirth. During vaginal delivery, continuous exertion by pregnant women can lead to a sharp increase in abdominal pressure, causing hemorrhoids to become trapped and causing unbearable pain. Therefore, if the condition of hemorrhoids in pregnant women is severe, they should consult a doctor's opinion to decide whether to give birth naturally.
What are the causes of hemorrhoids in pregnant women
Hemorrhoids in pregnant women usually appear in the late stages of pregnancy. This is because as the fetus grows day by day, the uterus of the pregnant woman swells, which then compresses the veins and obstructs the flow of blood back. In addition, during pregnancy, the increased blood supply in the pelvic cavity and the relaxation of pelvic tissue further promote the occurrence and aggravation of hemorrhoids. In addition, due to uterine compression in the rectovaginal area, blood stasis can occur, which can also lead to the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women
Firstly, constipation. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids can cause constipation and anal bleeding after defecation, but without bloody or black stools.
Secondly, pain. Hemorrhoids protrude from the outside of the anus, presenting as a dark purple elongated mass with surface skin edema. The surrounding area is normal, hard in texture, and painful to press, with little mobility. When internal hemorrhoids protrude from the anus, a dark purple hemorrhoid mass can be seen.
Thirdly, anemia. If hemorrhoids in pregnant women do not improve for a long time, it can cause varying degrees of anemia.
Fourthly, poisoning. Difficulty in defecation caused by hemorrhoids can easily lead to the retention of human waste in the intestinal tract. Over time, the water in the body's metabolites is evaporated, making it even more difficult to excrete from the body. At the same time, some toxins are also spread, and the metabolic products that should have been excreted are absorbed by the body, leading to poisoning.
From this perspective, pregnant women with hemorrhoids can have vaginal delivery. Regarding hemorrhoids in pregnant women, treatment methods include surgical treatment and medication. Three parts of medicine are poisonous, pregnant mothers should not take medication easily. Surgical treatment also carries certain risks, pregnant mothers should think twice before acting. Hemorrhoids can be prevented. Pregnant women should have a reasonable and healthy diet, go to bed early and wake up early, and adopt a left side sleeping position.
