Re: PREGNANCY: Hemorrhoids and Post-partum bleeding

Hello Dr. von Almen,

Thank you for your reply. I called my obgyn and the nurse told me that she could only tell me to try the otc cream and if that didn't work to go to my pcp for a referral to a surgeon. I am a sahm with a 2 month old baby that is exclusively breast fed. I cannot have surgery right now due to that and money issues. Is there anything else I can do? I tried the otc stuff and they are still there.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

-Julie
