My OB-GYN eventually suggested I try Fact, which honestly surprised me. Even that didn't provide much relief. Then, when I had my first baby—and please don't let this scare you, as everyone's experience is different—that's when the real issues started with massive hemorrhoids, which actually resulted from having an enema!🙂
It took about three weeks before I managed to soothe them somewhat using Pilex, though they never fully receded; they just stopped hurting so much. 🤣
I never did completely get rid of them.
During my second pregnancy, I made sure to mention my history with this issue beforehand, and the consequences were definitely much more manageable. I used Pilex again along with some Hemo ex oil.

🙄

swiftpanther102, is it okay to start taking Pilex immediately after giving birth?
Since you mentioned your history with hemorrhoids during your second delivery, were they perhaps more careful with you because of that? I'm honestly quite terrified of what might happen afterward, given how things are feeling right now. 😢 😢
Also, what can you tell me about that Hemo ex oil? Does it actually help?

Tyler James5, thanks.
I’m currently using Hemopropin, but I haven't seen any real improvement. I also tried Hemoro Protect, which was a total bust—zero stars from me. I'm curious about this Prokten ointment; has anyone here actually used it? What’s the verdict, and did it actually provide any relief for you? 🙄

melloworca6 said:Which doctor are we talking about? Personally, when it comes to matters like this, I tend to trust an OB-GYN the most, since they really should be the experts on what's safe during pregnancy and what isn't. Other doctors might be familiar with it, but it varies—general practitioners definitely know their stuff, but others can be hit or miss depending on their specialty.

Just my general practitioner. Honestly, I feel like I'm losing my mind because this current treatment isn't doing anything for me at all, and my due date is getting closer by the day. I would love to try using Fact, but I am just so worried about the possibility of it affecting the baby.🙄🙂

melloworca6 and Michael Diaz4, thank you both. My gynecologist suggested I try Hemolex, but honestly, nothing seems to be making a difference.
Regarding the Fact ointment, my doctor gave me the exact same advice found in the official medication guide, so I’m feeling quite conflicted about whether I should actually use it or not, even though I know plenty of other pregnant women swear by it. 🙄😢 I am truly at my wit's end with all of this. 😢

Could someone please let me know if it’s actually safe to use Faktu during pregnancy, and has anyone here had any personal experience with it? To be honest, I got a bit of a mixed response at the local CVS pharmacy, where they told me it might be okay but also expressed some hesitation 🙄 I've been using Hemoprocin, but unfortunately, it hasn't provided much relief at all... 😢 Do you happen to have any advice or suggestions? Thanks so much

😠 Dealing with semi-famous people constantly making comments about my baby bump. 😠
😠 The typical comments from these losers: "What are you wearing?" Me: "A little 🙂 dress," and then they just chime in with, "Oh, congrats! And early congrats on the next one, which will probably be a boy." 😠
Not to mention all the nonsense and absolute stupidity coming from my mother-in-law that is driving me up the wall; honestly, I feel like starting some kind of advocacy group for young moms just to fight back against these kinds of overbearing women.
