Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Iron tablet can constipation in some women, which can cause Hemorrhoids.Try changing to different iron preparation. Pregnancy hormones can cause constipation. Better to take atleast 3 litres of water, high fibre diet, Plenty of whole fruits/Salad, Milk. Avoid sedentary lifestyle. If not corrected you can take over the counter lactulose Syrup as well. But try natural methods and if they are not working then only start medicine
