A member asked:

Hi i have what google calls enlarged hemorrhoids, no bleeding just pain during visits to the loo. im 34 weeks pregnant. is there topical otc medication i can get?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hemorrhoids: Witch hazel pads helps. Witch hazel pads are OTC in US, but I am not sure if it is in your country. Always keep hydrated and eat a high-fiber diet. Soft stool is important. Ask your obgyn provider as well if discomfort is not relieved. I hope this helps.
