I got bad piles with my second birth and every now and again I get flare ups, it seems to have got worse in meno, has anyone else experienced this x

2

Ohhhhh yes!! Had them through my pregnancies. Now and then they flare up.

3

Thanks for your reply, I'm not alone then! X

4

Yes, but I used a cream that helped reduced them.

5

Yes, yes, I had them during pregnancy but they didn't cause and problem up until peri. I had to go to Mt gp the pain was so bad. They gave me a strong suppositories. It is a bit better now but. I do get very sharp pain usually before I need to empty my bowels. Also I seem to get more constipated before period, guessing due to hormonal changes. Not very pleasant. Good luck.

6

Mine not so bad. Only when I get stressed they flare up.

7

oops, I mean suppository.

8

yes, I did even though I am not constipated! Two months ago they bled and it lead to a bunchof checks, ultrasounds, and colonoscopy. All was fine. It helps to add fiber- even if you are not constipated. Metamucil etc. Good luck.

Yes. I had bleeding as well but it was really mild and don't know if it was due to piles or vaginal dryness. Was after sex.

10

Yes suppositories are good x

11

Thanks yes, sometimes I get pain other times they can bleed with little discomfort x

12

Yes I wouldn't say I am constipated, although eight weeks ago I had constipation quite bad due to change of diet! They just bled abit when how what seemed quite normal bowel movement, thanks will take your advice on board x

Oops gave you the wrong reply, yes vaginal dryness can cauae bleeding too x
