How to relieve postpartum hemorrhoids?
Here are some practical, gentle remedies to bring comfort to you:
Warm Sitz Baths: Soaking in warm water for 10–15 minutes several times a day can help reduce inflammation and soothe the area.
Cold Compresses: Applying an ice pack (wrapped in cloth) for a few minutes can numb pain and reduce swelling.
High-Fiber Diet: Eating fiber-rich foods and drinking plenty of water helps prevent constipation, which can make hemorrhoids worse.
Over-the-Counter Relief: Witch hazel pads, medicated wipes, or creams may relieve itching and discomfort.
I encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider if symptoms persist, especially for personalized advice and safety during the postpartum period.
