External haemorrhoid post partum
I had normal delivery with left lateral episiotomy 5 weeks back currently breastfeeding.
I had severe constipation twice during the second trimester, post that developed skin tag like structure in the anus, which was not painful or itching.
But post delivery for the past 3 days, I had mild constipation, where I had strained to pass the stool, post that, I developed burning sensation and pain. Today, I have seen mild blood in my stool.

Your history fits a very common postpartum issue:
• Pre-existing skin tag (likely sentinel pile)
• Recent straining → pain + burning + slight bleeding
Next Steps
• Stool softening is the MOST important:
– Start lactation-safe stool softener (like lactulose)
• Local treatment:
– Warm sitz bath (10–15 min, 2–3 times daily)
– Apply local anesthetic + healing ointment (doctor prescribed)
• Avoid straining completely
• Continue breastfeeding safely—these treatments are generally compatible
Health Tips
• High fiber diet: fruits, vegetables, oats
• Plenty of fluids (very important during breastfeeding)
• Don’t delay urge to pass stool
• Avoid sitting too long on toilet
⚠️ Red flags:
• Persistent heavy bleeding
• Fever or swelling (rare complications)
