   My son is 7 months old now and mine have not really one away yet, althouh they very rarely bother me.
   When they do hurt, I sit for a few minutes in a VERY hot tub, and I use an OTC cream recommended by my pharmacist that is safe while breastfeeding.
   The best thing you can do is wear comfortable underwear and make sure you don’t wear any pants that are too tight!!

   Basically any over the counter remedy will help. They’d have to be really bad to not go away eventually or require surgery. Prep-H, Tucks pads, or even Witch Hazel on a cotton ball will help. So will drinking more water and trying to eat more fruits and fibers to make going easier.

   Hemorrhoids can develop during pregnancy – often due to the radical change in hormones and/or constipation that often occurs with a change in vitamins and general diet. Sometimes hemorrhoids are due to the weight of the uterus and baby – in effect causing straining. Lots of sitting or standing contributes to the development of hemorrhoids. Frequent rests in the prone position are encouraged.

   Although these hemorrhoidal varicose veins of the rectum are extremely unpleasant and potentially serious, the good news is that they are usually a temporary condition. Often, the hemorrhoid will virtually disappear after delivery.

   Ways to prevent getting a hemorrhoid include drinking plenty of water, never “putting off” the call of nature – when you have to go, GO - not straining to make a bowel movement - eating plenty of fibrous foods to soften the stools and prevent constipation and keeping the anal area clean.

   If you do experience hemorrhoids, there are a variety of ointments and suppositories made especially to alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Also warm baths, special cushions and loose-fitting clothing offer some comfort.
