WHAT?!!!!!! THIS IS NUTS! On postpartum we hand out OTC hemorrhoid preps
like candy on Halloween. Is her doctor a doctor??? Could there have been
some miscommunication? Am I living on another planet???? Is there a new
research study on hemorroids, meds, and bfg that I've missed?? If so,
someone please enlighten me!!! Have her start doing sitz baths 2-3 times a
day for 10-15 minutes to help reduce the swelling. It is perfectly safe to
use Prep H, or anusol, and TUCKS. This mom should not be suffering needlessly.
