I'm dealing with piles after my c-section and it's been about a month now. Plus, there's this swollen mass that's really uncomfortable. I'm breastfeeding my baby, so I'm worried about taking any strong medications. Do you have any suggestions for remedies or precautions I should be considering?

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job.

What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?
