A member asked:

Very painful external hemmorrhoids. 34 weeks pregnant. when should i go see the dr. none of the over counter creams are working. got script for cream from gynae today but still not working?

Pregnant/hemorrhoids: At 34 weeks of pregnancy, hemorrhoids are common, and unfortunately, there is little treatment which can alleviate the pain. Ask your provider for lidocaine gel which will help to some extent, applied frequently.
