Hemorrhoids

What did you use to treat them during pregnancy?
I was looking at Preparation H since I've read it safe but are the wipes with witch hazel in it also safe? Or just the ointment?

witch hazel is pretty much the same as Prep H. i liked the pads better.

You can use it all. My best advice is to take a freeze pop and wrap it in a paper towel and tuck it in your butt crack. It gives immediate relief and helps with the swelling.

I used witch hazel pads. I liked them better than the ointment. I felt like the worked better and they were definitely more comfortable lol

I've never heard of them before - I'll have to check them out because ointment is definitely something I'd like to avoid. haha.
