Question
Today is the fifth day after my delivery, and I have a side cut wound. I noticed two small lumps behind the wound. Are they hemorrhoids? Can I use an anti-inflammatory cream? Will using the cream have an impact on my child?
Answer
They might be hemorrhoids. You can use the cream; it won’t have any effect on your child. Make sure to consume enough vegetables and fruits daily to supplement dietary fiber and keep your bowel movements regular to prevent constipation. Keep the wound clean and hygienic. It’s recommended to relax and maintain a cheerful mood, avoiding dry stools. If the situation is severe or recurs frequently, further surgery may be required. After treatment, you can go home; there’s no need for hospitalization, but follow-up appointments are necessary.
