I didn't know if this was the right place to post but anyway I am 5 weeks post partum and have been suffering with constipation since day one which has resulted in extremely painful hemmorhoids(?). I was prescribed lactulose by my GP but that hasn't worked very well and I was also given cream by the midwifes whilst in hospital for piles but that hasn't helped either. Do I go back to my GP or is there nothing she can do? I don't want to waste their time but I also don't want to be in pain. Bowel movements are very painful and result in quite a bit of bleeding :(
As for bleeding I was just wondering if it is normal for me to bleed on and off quite heavily and sometimes lightly. I thought it may be my period but because I'm breastfeeding I don't know how likely this is.
Thanks everyone :)
