Why Hemorrhoids Occur During Pregnancy

When you become pregnant your blood volume increases 30-50% as your veins, arteries, capillaries, and vessels expand their capacity to circulate blood for you and your baby.

As a result, your veins (including those in your rectum, yay!) will bulge, swell and become inflamed, resulting in the dreaded hemorrhoid. Constipation at the beginning of pregnancy resulting from hormone changes, and not hydrating enough due to nausea or morning sickness are other factors that create the perfect storm for the hemorrhoid to develop.

Once they occur, they can be a challenge for the rest of pregnancy and postpartum and are almost guaranteed during subsequent pregnancies.

Booty Bliss, along with a high fiber diet, good hydration, and a natural magnesium supplement to keep stools soft, will get you through your pregnancy and future occurences with less pain and suffering. For more info on this, check out our blog post, Heal Hemorrhoids Fast and Prevent Their Return. In it you'll find a simple but effective list of treatments in addition to Booty Bliss to support rapid healing.

How It Works

Our unique combination of herbs is unlike any other you’ll find in an organic, plant-based hemorrhoid cream and is designed to restore the tissues using several different pathways:

The astringent herbs, like Witch Hazel and Periwinkle, create firmness in the tissue, condensing the cellular structures of arteries and nerves. They shrink, sooth and strengthen the skin, while restoring circulation.

Herbs with anti-inflammatory properties, blood purifiers, and healing properties, including the extensive list of oils and butters as well as Chickweed, Burdock Root and Calendula are added to give your bottom the nutrients it needs to heal.

Finally, the anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of Myrrh Oil and Calendula help to keep the area clear of infection throughout the healing process.
