Is it safe to have hemorrhoids removed during pregnancy?

If so, what type of removal procedure is most commonly used?
This is something I have had since 2005. With the birth of my daughter in January it swelled and caused horrible pain! It has shrunken some, but still hurts and bothers me. I am now pregnant again and do not want to have to go through the horrible pain again with having it during the birth and after. I plan to ask my doc about it at my ob visit, but just wondered if anyone had ever had it done. Isn’t there a rubberbanding type procedure that could be done?

Hemorrhoids are somewhat common during pregnancy. It is not safe to remove them, as it will cause more pain, and you will have to use anesthesia, which could have negative effects on your baby.
You only have surgery when pregnate if there is absolutely no alternative.
You probably shouldn’t have any other types of procedures while giving birth. You need to be careful in case you hemorrhage or something.
usually theres a cream prescribed to you…
I’m not sure the answer to your question, however if you are going to your prenatal visits you should be able to discuss this with your Dr, and learn if and what is the best remedy to use during this pregnancy. Just a thought =) Best wishes
It might be, I’m not sure. They might do it after to be safe or they might do it during, it might not even bother the baby.
SURELY, your doctor can answer that better than us !
no u might get excessive bleeding or have premature labour
go buy the over the counter stuff it should work using it only once if you catch it right away
Talk to your dr, he/she will probably perscribe a cream to use. It is very common to get hemmeroids during pregnancy and post partum. I’ve never heard of surgery for hemmorids actually especially for pregnant women. if you don’t have it already get "What to Expect when you’re expecting" it can answer just about any question you may have about your pregnancy. Also whattoexpect.com and babycenter.com are great resources on the web for pregnant women.
