Pregnant women may experience constipation due to changes in their body's progesterone levels, which can lead to hemorrhoids over time. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids are not as common as ordinary people and can be relieved with medication. However, pregnant women should not take medication indiscriminately. Even if they suffer from hemorrhoids, it is best to choose conservative treatment. So, what should pregnant women do if they get hemorrhoids in mid pregnancy? Let's learn about it together.
1. Ice cubes have a anti-inflammatory effect. The pregnant woman has hemorrhoids and swelling near the anus. So, applying ice to the location of hemorrhoids every day and doing it several times a day can effectively alleviate swelling and discomfort. But one thing to note is not to ice a place for too long, otherwise it may cause damage to the skin.
2. Pregnant women can also exercise regularly, which can accelerate local blood circulation in the anus. Pregnant women can contract their anus and engage in relaxation exercises when they have nothing to do. This should be repeated three times a day, with a minimum of 5-7 times per session. Over time, it will alleviate hemorrhoids.
3. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids are advised to choose a relatively light diet. Some pregnant women have a strong taste and prefer to eat greasy and stimulating foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits in daily life. This not only provides vitamins and nutrients to the body, but also relieves constipation, naturally preventing the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
