Ah lol, sorry to hear you have been so uncomfortable.  I also had it in this pregnancy recently which was a total shock because as you say, apart from the embarrasing side, I never had it with my daughter and so didn't know who to talk to and didn't want to talk to Dh even though I am sure he would understand.  Fortunately one of my friends had it and helped out.  Hope you feel better soon.  We have all been there.

Ansul is safe in pregnancy you have to push em up inside you but they heal quick, go to the chemist and purchase some it is what I am using

Hi i have had piles for years i know it sounds discusting but i freeze a ice pack cling film it and sit onit it does really really help sometimes its better than creams and sprays sometimes

i've got piles   and i think this is the only place i can talk about it!!!!!  (cos no one can see me ^^)

i'm sooooo embarassed!   but it was sooo bad that i can't walk properly, and espeically i have to walk a lot for my job, by the end of the day, both of my hip joints has started to hurt, probably due to my funny way of walking!!!!!!

so i went to the GP and the only doctor that was available was a MAN!!!! 

well, i had to sort it out so i told him and he said "if you don't mind me taking a look......"

and i was thinking "YES I DO!!!! but i have no choice!!!!!"

he gave me a spray and something to soften my stools ( not to mention i'm taking iron tablets as well!) and i just layed on my sides and watched wimbledone all day yesterday!!!  lucky it's much better today but i'm rily dreading it will come back again! 

i heard ppl can get piles after birth as well, as they've pushed too hard.....................
