Most women have no experience of hemorrhoids or rectal problems before pregnancy. Then you become pregnant, your stomach starts to grow, and suddenly you experience problems you never thought about before or heard others talk about. It may be taboo to talk about these problems, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In this article, we will guide you so that you can reduce or completely get rid of your problems.

Hemorrhoids and other rectal problems are much more common than people think. In fact, 50-90% of all people experience problems at least once in their lives, and among pregnant women it is even more common. Up to 85% of all pregnant women suffer from hemorrhoids during the second or third trimester, or in connection with childbirth.. Despite this, the condition is taboo, which means that as many as 20% do nothing at all to alleviate their symptoms. We cannot have that!

Why do hemorrhoids occur during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, pressure in the pelvic area increases, blood vessels become more affected, and the intestines work more slowly due to all the hormones. Add to that possible constipation and the increased strain of childbirth, and it's easy to understand why so many women are affected. The good news is that treatment is readily and quickly available, so you don't have to put up with these problems unnecessarily!
