Which statement by a client indicates a need for further teaching about hemorrhoids during pregnancy?

The statement indicating a need for further teaching is that hemorrhoids are caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy and that they will go away after the baby is born. While it is true that hormonal changes can affect vascular tissue, the primary cause of hemorrhoids during pregnancy is the increased pressure on the pelvic blood vessels due to the growing uterus. This pressure can lead to the development of hemorrhoids.

Additionally, while some women may find that their hemorrhoids improve or resolve after childbirth, this is not universally applicable. Factors such as the method of delivery (vaginal versus cesarean) and any ongoing issues like constipation can influence whether hemorrhoids persist after the baby is born. Therefore, the statement suggests an oversimplification of the causes and outcomes related to hemorrhoids during pregnancy, highlighting the need for more comprehensive education on this subject.
