Question : My wife blessed with a baby by normal delivery 18 days before. But from last 7 days she is getting blood in stool and getting pain while sitting in the anus and birth canel area. She never had this problem. This is for the first time experiencing such pain. Would you like to suggest to reduce the pain and get it cured.

As explained below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and it looks like hemorrhoids or piles to me. It is quiet common during pregnancy and after delivery due to the pressure created by the large uterus and the process of delivery. It usually resolves in a few weeks to months.

I would suggest her to sit in sitz bath for 20 minutes twice daily.
She can apply 'H'ointment to her anus.
Sitting on a soft pillow or cushion or a donut shaped pillow would help relive the pain and help it to heal.
Eating a diet rich in fiber such as fruitsand vegetables will help easy passage of stools and avoid constipation.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
Regards.
