Dr. Neria Hebbar answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Yes, if needed: If they are symptomatic and not responding to conservative treatment, they can be removed safely during post partum period. There may be less invasive options like rubber band ligation that can be tried in the doctor's office. See a colorectal specialist.
