Dont be embarassed....... i had it b4 i had LO!!!! what are you using to help?  I know it might sound a little funny but when you go to the toilet bend over/lean forward... this takes the pressure off your bottom.. it helped me and gradually got better, i also used anusol peseries... found them really good too but i expect thats what your using!!

If the treatment has not helped you should go back to see your doctor. Piles shouldn't be embarrassing, I've had two bouts of it ,after each baby. It's really common. I'm sure your doctor will be able to try something else to help you.

Does anyone have this problem.  My LO is 15 months now and since having her our sex life has not been the same... I have been to the doctors who has diagnosed a very embarassing problem (piles) and given treatment... It has not helped things and whenever we have sex I just feel like I need to go to toilet... (Have I gone into too much detail here?!) Anyway, I wondered if anyone else has this problem and if so is there anything you can suggest because my fiance is sexually frustrated and I feel guilty not giving him as much sex as he needs.
