Pregnancy often causes hemorrhoids because of the added pressure of the developing baby in the pelvic area and hormonal changes that are taking place in your body. The good news is that hemorrhoids usually clear up after giving birth. Remember that adding more liquid and fiber to your diet along with moderate exercise will help prevent hemorrhoids during your pregnancy. However, if problems due develop, the hemorrhoid treatments are similar to the home remedies for any typical sufferer.

Soak your bottom in plain, warm water (without soap) as often as you want during the day.

Use a sitz bath which is a plastic basin that will fit on the toilet where you can soak your rectal area for a few minutes. Although, remember that you do not want to sit too long on the toilet as it can create additional pressure on the hemorrhoids.

Apply an ice pack to the affected area several times a day for 10 to 15 minutes. This is an effective hemorrhoid treatment because it can decrease the swelling and discomfort.

Try using both warm and cold treatments, alternating between a warm tub or sitz bath, and an ice pack. Keep the anal area as dry as possible; use baby wipes or towelettes as toilet tissue. Avoid rubbing the area and pat dry. A cotton roll with baby powder or corn starch placed between the buttocks will help absorb the moisture.

If you sit for long periods of time during the day, be sure that every hour that you get up and move around. This will help relieve the pressure in the pelvic area.
