Yuuup. I'm going to go see a gi doctor bc I can't take stool softeners and miralax my whole life
@Caroline I’m afraid that the doctor would say the only fix to stop is surgery.
@Incognito honestly, same
Yes, and still with stool softeners. I went to a colorectal surgeon and she gave me an ointment but I cannot use it while breastfeeding 🥲
@Camila that’s rough so we basically have to deal with it till we are done with breastfeeding. May I ask what the ointment is supposed to do for it?
@Camila I got ointment too but my doctor and pharmacist said it's safe while breastfeeding. It heals it but if I go off my concoction of pills I'm taking then I'm back to square one
