Painful Hemorrhoids After Childbirth

hemorrhoids 8 months after childbirth?
I got hemorrhoids while I was 9 months pregnant. Now I’m 8 months POST-pregnancy and I still have this painful hemorrhoid that occasionally makes an appearance! Is this pretty normal? Or am I suppose to go see a doctor now that it has been so long?
There are many people who haven’t had a single hemorrhoid in their life but once they have a baby they have them for the rest of their lives.Some people have them before they have children and they get worse afterwards.
I would try preperation H cream or witch hazel for treatment.Try not to strain or it could make it worse (you probably already know)
If it gets any worse, have a doc check it out.
