I have had external hemhorroids for about a month (gave birth 6 mths ago). I am now having lower abdominal cramping. I feel internal pressure. I have made a dr appt but it is not until Friday. Anyone experience this?

thanks

To begin, congratulations on the birth of your baby!


Seeing your doctor is a good idea and I'm glad you already made an appointment. Have you changed your eating habits at all? I personally don't feel that external hemmoroids are the culprit and suggest that you start a food journal, to see if you can find a particular food that causes the cramping. Be sure to drink enough water daily, as this can cause you to strain and might be why you now have hemmoroids.


Please let us know what your doctor suggests on Friday, OK?
