Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Moms recommend getting properly diagnosed (piles vs fissure vs fistula) by a specialist, managing constipation with fibre, and using breastfeeding-friendly ointments only after checking with your doctor.
⚠️ Caution:Recurring or severe piles/fissures need proper diagnosis by a doctor or surgeon. Confirm any ointment or medicine is breastfeeding-safe with your gynaecologist before use.
Moms are distressed by painful, recurring piles or fissures that don't seem to fully heal. The community reassures them that getting an accurate diagnosis and managing constipation makes a real difference, and shares ointments that helped - always with the caveat to confirm safety with their doctor.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Get checked by a surgeon to correctly diagnose whether it's piles, a fissure, or a fistula - one mom had a severe fissure rather than piles, so accurate diagnosis matters.
For breastfeeding-friendly relief, some moms used Anovate ointment (found safe and effective) but stress checking with your gynaecologist first.
Take psyllium husk (isabgol) or otherwise add fibre to ease constipation, which helps healing.
Recurrence is common with constipation, so managing stools is key.
