Pregnant women are the most susceptible group to hemorrhoids, with a nearly 80% chance of developing them after pregnancy. After suffering from hemorrhoids, not only will there be pain, but there may also be bleeding, which has a great impact on pregnant women. It is easy for pregnant women to become anemic and may also lead to low fetal weight and delayed development. So, can pregnant women have hemorrhoids removed?
Pregnant women should avoid cutting hemorrhoids during pregnancy, and conservative treatment is recommended. The early stages of pregnancy are the most prone to miscarriage. Women are not allowed to undergo hemorrhoid surgery at this time. In the late stages of pregnancy, surgical treatment is also not recommended. Doctors usually recommend conservative treatment, such as warm sitz baths and soft therapy, and the use of ointments or suppositories is also effective.
After women suffer from hemorrhoids during pregnancy, they should avoid constipation, otherwise it is easy to worsen hemorrhoids. They should eat more high fiber foods in their daily lives. Do not use steroids or musk drugs during treatment.
If a pregnant woman has severe hemorrhoids and feels unbearable pain or heavy bleeding, surgery can be performed between 4-6 months of pregnancy. This stage is the most stable period for the fetus, and undergoing hemorrhoid surgery is the safest. However, during surgery, it is important to pay attention to the anesthesia method and choose safer anesthesia drugs to prevent harm to the fetus.
