Is preparation h safe during pregnancy?
I'm pregnant and recently developed some hemorrhoids, which are quite uncomfortable. Someone suggested using Preparation H. Is it safe to use this during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?

Please be very careful with any cream or medicine during these months. Also, try eating high-fiber foods like oats and papaya (if allowed by your doctor) to naturally ease bowel movements.

Agree with others, it is generally considered safe but always check with your gynecologist first before using any over-the-counter creams.

Pregnancy brings so many uninvited guests, and piles is the worst one! It is safe to use mostly, but do confirm with your doc so you can sit comfortably again.

I was just reading about this online because a friend of mine is struggling with it. It seems common, but it's always best to ask the doctor before applying anything down there.

My wife faced this too. Along with any cream the doctor prescribes, warm water sitz baths twice a day give really good, simple relief without any extra cost.
