        Hello! I have a friend who is trying for a third baby, but has terrible hemorrhoids from his first pregnancy. She said they don’t typically bother her but can be extremely painful when irritated. She asked her doctor what she should do and he said she would need surgery to remove them. He also told her there is no point in surgery until she is done having kids. So she turned to me asking for help.

         

        My biggest advice was apple pectin as a supplement to help with easily bowel movements, exercise regularly, and drink plenty of water. Is there any herbal remedies that will help her? Is surgery her only option?

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
