Hemorrhoids or Piles as they are often called in the UK, are swellings on the inside of the anal canal, the short, muscular tube that connects the rectum with the anus. They are round swellings that can reach the size of a grape. They are not varicose veins. Here are few of the questions frequently asked about hemorrhoids - responses are by other readers.

You can use Preparation H cream, or use Tucks pads. Both of these are over-the-counter and safe to use during pregnancy. If these don’t help, ask your provider at your next appointment, and they can give you a prescription for something stronger.
Good Luck with your baby!
