Hemorrhoids are among the venous diseases and one of its unpleasant manifestations is the presence of hemorrhoidal nodules in the anus area. Those who suffer from a similar disorder are usually disturbed by pain and blood appearing during a bowel movement.
The main causes of hemorrhoids in women include:
- pregnancy (changes in blood circulation, compression of blood vessels by the fetus);
- childbirth and the postpartum period (excessive one-time load on organs located in the pelvic area);
- anal sex (damage to the walls of the rectum, rupture of some veins);
- frequent bowel cleansing (usually associated with the process of losing weight);
- stressful conditions (they are not a direct cause, but increase the degree of predisposition);
- weight lifting;
- heredity;
- non-compliance with the diet and healthy diet (excessive amounts of fatty and spicy foods, lack of fiber);
- persistent constipation (pressure of stool masses and tension that occurs when they are released);
- insufficient or, on the contrary, excessive physical activity;
- alcohol consumption.
If we talk about the symptoms of the violation, then besides those already mentioned (blood, pain, nodes) there are two more:
- feeling of heaviness and the presence of a foreign body inside the anal passage (increases with time);
- sensation of itching and burning (due to damage to the inner surface of the intestine, microcracks, appearing with significant stretching).
If this symptom is actually present in a woman, then she should immediately contact a proctologist (specialist in the treatment and diagnosis of hemorrhoids).
Unfortunately, such a doctor is far from being everywhere. It is possible that it will only be possible to get an appointment with him at a private medical clinic for a fee.

Features of the treatment of hemorrhoids during pregnancy and after childbirth during lactation
Freedom from hemorrhoids in the process of carrying a child is associated with some restrictions necessary to protect the fetus. For this reason, only a doctor can install the ability to use one or another remedy, and during the whole treatment process the patient should be under his close supervision.
If the symptoms of the disease are mild, then it is recommended to do without drug therapy at all (you can use some popular recipes, but also only with the approval of the doctor).
If even during pregnancy, the mother's condition returned to normal and she did not experience any unpleasant feelings, then during childbirth (and after them) the hemorrhoids can re-appear. 
Because of the need to breastfeed the mother, the mother still cannot use any medication.
The only sure way to get rid of hemorrhoids during lactation includes:
- Careful hygiene;
- Maintaining regular physical activity without overloading;
- Establishing the right diet.
With this mode, all unpleasant symptoms disappear completely literally in 2-4. As an exception, you can use only antiseptic substances and phlebotonic preparations intended for oral administration.
The most effective remedy for hemorrhoids in women according to reviews
To date, many have already tried the effects of antihemorrhoidal drugs on themselves and left a huge number of different reviews about them:
In my experience, the most effective remedy for hemorrhoids is Detralex. Of course, for the provision of emergency assistance, it is not suitable. However, after I drank the full course (about two months), no symptoms of hemorrhoids were observed anymore. Life has become much easier, that's for sure.
Olga, 28 years old, Nizhny Novgorod
I had a problem when I gave birth the second time. At first, as prescribed by the doctor, she used glycerin and sea buckthorn candles (a two-week course). However, there were no noticeable results. After I had to go to a private clinic, where after the examination, Procto-Glevenol was prescribed. It had to be used during two ten-day courses with a week break. That's when I felt a significant improvement. It has now been six months since everything is in order, and I would like to hope that this will continue.
Inga, 37 years old, Omsk
At first she used sea buckthorn candles. But they are uncomfortable to the horror: the course of reception is long, they constantly remained in their underwear. Then she switched to Relief - the effect is also almost zero. Finally, on the recommendation of the doctor, Natalsid began to be used. That time was so successful that for several months now I don’t remember any pain.
Irina, 31, Novosibirsk
In general, when choosing the right solution for your delicate problem, you need to focus not on the beautiful packaging, but on how effective and harmless it will be. Carefully study the composition of the selected drug, perhaps it will not suit you because of the intolerance of individual ingredients.
