Pregnancy makes you more prone to hemorrhoids. Your growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic veins and the inferior vena cava, a large vein on the right side of the body that receives blood from the lower limbs. This can slow the return of blood from the lower half of your body, which increases the pressure on the veins below your uterus and causes them to become more dilated or swollen.
Constipation, another common problem during pregnancy, can also cause or aggravate hemorrhoids. That's because straining leads to hemorrhoids, and you tend to strain when having a hard bowel movement. In addition, an increase in the hormone progesterone during pregnancy causes the walls of your veins to relax, allowing them to swell more easily. Progesterone also contributes to constipation by slowing down your intestinal tract.
Hemorrhoids are relatively common during pregnancy. Some women get them for the first time while they're pregnant; and if you've had them before pregnancy, you're quite likely to have them again now. They may also develop during the second stage of labor, while you're pushing.
Though you're more susceptible to hemorrhoids when pregnant, they're not inevitable! Hemorrhoids often go away on their own or with the help of some simple measures soon after you give birth. Here are some ways to ward them off or get rid of them if you do get them.
Avoid constipation: Eat a high-fiber diet, drink plenty of water, and get regular exercise, even if you only have time for a short, brisk walk. If you're constipated, ask your practitioner about using a fiber supplement or stool softener. Don't wait when you have the urge to have a bowel movement, try not to strain when you're moving your bowels, and don't linger on the toilet because it puts pressure on the area.
Do Kegel exercises daily. Kegels increase circulation in the rectal area and strengthen the muscles around the anus, decreasing the chance of hemorrhoids. They also strengthen and tone the muscles around the vagina and urethra, which can help your body recover after you give birth.
Avoid sitting or standing for long stretches of time. If your job involves sitting, get up and move around for a few minutes every hour or so. At home, lie on your left side when sleeping, reading, or watching TV to take the pressure off your rectal veins and help increase blood return from the lower half of your body.
If your own preventive and relief efforts don't help or if you notice bleeding, consult your doctor or midwife. Any rectal bleeding should be checked by your practitioner. For most women, hemorrhoids will get better after delivery with the help of the measures discussed above. In some cases, you may need to see a specialist for treatment to help shrink your hemorrhoids. Rarely, minor surgery is required to correct the problem.
