Pregnant Being Constipated With Bowel Movements. Taking Preparation H Suppositories. What Is The Cause?
I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been constipated for the last 2 with limited bowel movements. I recently developed an internal hemmoroid and the pharmacist suggested Preparation H suppositories. I've been taking for a day and the bleeding and pain have decreased however now there's an orange liquid coming out when I attempt a bowel movement. Is this from the suppository?
Drinking enough water to keep yourself hydrated. Regular sleep and eating. High fiber diet. exercise regularly.
For hemorrhoids other than your ongoing treatment, stool softner like docusate sodium can be taken which are safe in pregnancy. Orange liquid coming out may be due to healing process. Once hemorrhoids heal completely it may stop.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
