Women who develop hemorrhoids during pregnancy should stop eating spicy and stimulating foods. They should eat more vegetables and fruits that are rich in fiber to facilitate bowel movements, such as bananas, daylilies, black fungus, apples, peaches, and pears. They can also use some medications for sitz baths, twice a day after each bowel movement, once in the morning and once in the evening. Additionally, they should avoid standing or sitting for long periods and can perform anal lifting exercises or massage the anal area. Massaging can help with blood circulation and can be somewhat helpful in improving hemorrhoids.
