5 months pregnant. what can i do about two external hemorrhoids? the pain is gone right now but i would also like for them to disappear. what do i do?

Hang in there : They won't get better during pregnancy, and will improve after delivery. Ask your OB doctor which over the counter creams are appropriate for use during pregnancy. You'll be ok. Hope this helps!
