36 weeks pregnant and developed a hemorrhoid

Im 36 weeks pregnant and developed a hemorrhoid. It wasn't even an issue until this past weekend - my doctor checked it out and there was no itching, burning, bleeding, etc... He recommended Tucks or Proctofoam if I wanted to treat, but that it was up to me (since I wasn't experiencing discomfort). Not thrombossed. Fast forward a few days - I'm in pain!. I tried the Tucks and think it's a joke... Then I tried Prep H. Still not working. I'm so uncomfortable, it's not even funny. Is there anything to bring relief? I'm also concerned about anal leakage. I've done research (this board is very helpful) and I'm having a hard time determining if I'm experiencing leakage or if it's the Prep H. I just don't know how to go about grating this, and am very uncomfortable. It's about to send me over the edge - being thus pregnant is enough! Any help / advice is welcome. Thank you!
