That sounds completely and utterly miserable
@Zelda buttons (don’t know why I can’t tag you). Have you been referred to a specialist? I know there are surgical options available when piles get really severe.
She’s Zetta not Zelda so you’ve tagged in another member on a post about piles!
Sorry
@zetta buttons I’m not laughing at you, just Mays error.
I feel for you.
A few years back I had dreadful piles - it was even uncomfortable to walk as I had a massive external one. I was bathing in salt baths a few times a day and applying ice packs. I can’t recall if I connected it to peri now but it was truly awful.
I must admit I never saw a GP, I just dealt with it myself (Googled too many images

) but I probably should have seen one so that it didn’t get as bad as it did. If I recall correctly, it was thrombosed.
Thankfully I only had one bad case of it during peri. I know I’m susceptible to them now because I had them terribly after giving birth.
