My dr prescribed colace. It's a stole softener.  I used hemorrhoid cream also like 2 or 3 times. I just hate that wet feeling on my butt though lol so I don't prefer. To use it.  I love soaking in a warm bathtub.  Feels alot better. Eat prunes!  All that stuff helps me. Also,  don't push hard.  Just breath n relax

Increase blood flow to the area (like a seat warmer), soak in Epsom salt, avoid tight clothes, and don't sit on hard surfaces. Be careful of hemorrhoid creams..medicine soaks into anal tissue and goes to your blood stream. Ask your ob for a safe one

Eating fruits and veggies help with any pushing issues but just get medication for it. It's normal but definitely uncomfortable
