Constipation hemorrhoids with planned C-section
I went to my 6 week appointment technically at 5 weeks that was all they had and told them I was still dealing with constipation and only having a bowel movement every 3 to 4 days. They said that it was not normal and I should do MiraLAX so I’ve been taking MiraLAX daily and that has helped with more bowel movements but I don’t know when I can stop taking them. I also feel like I have a ton of pressure/burning where it feels like I have to go but don’t have to actually go. I was thinking it could be internal /external hemorrhoids. It seems like it’s gone on weeks now and I’m now 8 weeks post partum. I feel pressure, burning and it feels like I’m sitting on something. I put zinc cream down there and it just makes it burn.. icing helped a little. I tried a sitz bath this morning but didn’t really help but I’ll try it again. I didn’t think I would have to deal with all of this with a planned c section. I originally had some blood with bowel movements but it stopped after taking MiraLAX. Any advice? I was thinking of going to a GI doctor.
