Exercise to cure Hemorrhoids

By Heather-Jane Hunter

One of the easiest ways to cure the problem of hemorrhoids is to get exercise. Regular exercise will help you with digestion, which means that your food will go through your body much easier. Lack of exercise will prevent normal elimination of stools, which means that it will have the chance of getting dry and may cause damage to the skin inside or around your anal canal. This problem can potentially lead to your experiencing hemorrhoids.

Another factor lack of exercise can bring on is more instances of diarrhea. This may cause additional chances of having irritation with your hemorrhoids. Explosive stools are known to give you a lot of irritation and more damage to the anal canal. Also the additional cleaning may also cause you to experience more problems with your hemorrhoids.

You will find that you can really reduce potential hemorrhoids by walking at least 20 minutes every day.

In many cases, women are able to prevent hemorrhoids by performing Kegel exercises which help them to work out their PC muscles. This hemorrhoid exercise helps to improve the bloods circulation in the anal area. When a woman is pregnant Kegel exercises go a long way in regulating blood flow that occurs in the vaginal and the anal areas as well. Performing this hemorrhoid exercise simply requires you to tighten the muscles of the vagina while you are urinating.

If you have more severe forms of hemorrhoids, you may find that hemorrhoid exercise can be exceptionally uncomfortable, so you will have to limit the amount of exercise that you can actually do.

Weight lifting is not recommended if you have hemorrhoids, as it is one of the many causes of the condition. Body builders run the risk of getting hemorrhoids due to the pressure added to their veins during the process of lifting weight. However there are some tips to keep a weight lifter from getting hemorrhoids which include breathing in deeply when lifting and breathing out when putting the weight down. Also avoiding strain on the back and the anus will also help you when doing hemorrhoid exercise.

In some cases exercise may cause some irritation to your hemorrhoids, especially those on the outside of your anus (external hemorrhoids). If you should experience this you may want to consider taking a sitz bath in a tub of warm water for at least 15 minutes when you are done with the hemorrhoid exercise.

Another problem that may cause you to get hemorrhoids is being obese. This places additional pressure on the veins in and around the anal canal as well as making your circulation poor and may lead to having hemorrhoids. Doing hemorrhoid exercise will help you to lose weigh and ensure you don't get hemorrhoids.

If you have hemorrhoids, and are looking for options to help you to rid yourself of the condition, you will want to make hemorrhoid exercise a part of your cure.
