hemroids and lifting weights

I found a way to manage the hemroids and which stops the pain and discomfort, and that is taking hesperedin and rutin bioflavanoids.  I was shocked and delighted and surprised how well they work.  The Bioflavanoid supplement I buy contains 500mb Vitamin C + 250mg hesperedin + 100mg rutin, and it's helped enormously. It even shrinks the hemroids.

Effects of Weightlifting When You Have Hemorrhoids If you already suffer from hemorrhoids, your doctor may suggest that you discontinue lifting weights while you are healing.
Proper Weight Lifting to Prevent Hemorrhoids

A regular weight-lifting routine doesn't have to lead to hemorrhoids, according to the Strong Lifts website. If you practice proper breathing while lifting weights, you can prevent developing hemorrhoids. Avoid holding your breath and pushing in the direction of your anus as you lift weights. Instead, take a breath before lifting, then hold your breath, pushing the air in the direction of your throat as you lift, exhaling completely after each repetition.

I noticed a lump on my anus after passing stool especially harder ones. In the shower after cleaning the area I could push the lump back into my anus. I've been weight training again (I'm 53) for about 6mos. I now noticed lump on anus showering after a workout. I read hemorrhoid description on Wikipedia. It pointed out 3 reasons I think I have one. Harder stools due to not enough water (also taking creatine supplements w/o extra hydration), straining as I move up in weights and sitting alot at my job. ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web addresses not allowed*** so I know I'm getting 100% of my fiber but I will increase it anyway. So far it's been painless lump with no bleeding but I will increase water intake as well. I will hold steady on weight at a level I don't have to strain as much for now.

hi thank for ur guideline.

i am aslo suffering from piles i think my wrong way to doing gym is for this cause.

drink lots of water , fiber every day, and be religious about your breathing when you are working out...........DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!!!!!!!! EXHALE AT THE RIGHT TIME. WHEN YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH YOU CAN FEEL YOUR SPHINCHTER CONTRACT............THAT IS WHY THE PROBLEM YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAD BECAME MUCH WORSE. WATER AND FIBER...............AND DON'T EAT CHEESE OR RED MEAT, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WILL HURT COMING OUT.

I'm 19 and i've been suffering from hemoroids for the past 2 months. My hemoroids took quite fast to heal since i undertook ayurvedic treatment. Ayurvedic treatment does help. Incase of bleeding, one can apply "anovate" on the affected area. Ferment the anal region daily with potassium permanganate mixed in luke warm water for about 10-15 mintues. Include a lot of salads in ur meals and drink plenty of water and also avoid straining while passing stools. The name of the ayurvedic medicine that i took is "piorhoids" . You can also try pilex wich is also and ayurvedic medicine. The healing process is slow but its beneficial in the long run since ayurvedic medicines are know to kill any kind of sickness' from its roots.

Take a clove (not the whole bulb) of garlic, remove the skin and shave off the rough edges. Coat with olive oil and insert the clove into the rectum (all the way into the rectum. Don't lodge it in anus). Do this for seven nights.

Weight-lifting is definitely not advisable during your recovery from hemorrhoids, as you will still pressurize your rectal tissues a little even with the right techniques as all your body muscles are connected. Although it was never clearly explained back in school, this is the reason why our coaches always teach us to exhale while exerting force. You should be letting out the pressure via your breath, notyour rectal tissues!

yes same thing happen to me, I went to the emergency room and the doctor gave me
HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE 25mg and that did it for me. so be careful lifting

do you know Garlic is poison for your body

i feel ya'll i got my first one this week and im only 17 i dont know how long ive had it ( because i dont stare my ass hole down in the mirror) but i was scratching and noticed it. it is extrmemly small though and unlike the rest of ya'll i didnt xperience the "pop" and hen have it the next day mine doesnt itch or hurt. i am an avid bodybuilder and take lots of supplements. Cut out all caffeine you will be tired but this will help when you take a shower let it soak in warm water. use cream and eat lots of fiber. dont forget to stay hydrated. and stay away from foods that make you have an uncomfortabl sh**s.

I and a friend of mine both have cured Hemorrhoids with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a glass of water or juice twice a day. YES YES YES THIS REALLY DOES WORK AND IT IS INEXPENSIVE AND NATURAL.

TRY THIS: HEMORRHJOID TREATMENT. 2 TABLESPOONS OF WHITE VINEGAR IN A GLASS OF JUICE OR WATER TWICE A DAY. THIS REALLY WORKS. YOU WILL BE WELL PLEASED AND BE OUT OF PAIN.

Good luck, jerry

Weight Lifting Causes Hemorrhoids. The right way to breathe during a lift is to hold your breath and push it against your closed glottis. This keeps your lower back safe by increasing pressure in your abdomen.

If you hold your breath and push it towards your anus you can get hemorrhoids. Avoid by breathing correctly: use the valsalva maneuver. Drink lots of water and eat green veggies, fruits & fiber for optimal digestion.

Having hemorrhoids is not a sentence to reduced activity level by any means. You can still be competitive and perform at the highest level, even in sports that create significant abdominal and blood pressure. It is not uncommon for high-level strength athletes such as weightlifters, powerlifters, or strongmen to deal with these symptoms. If you incorporate the proper techniques you can minimize the symptoms or even make them completely disappear. These tips also are quite effective in preventing the onset to begin with.

 

If you follow these guidelines there is no reason you should not be able to pursue your activity without full force and vigor.

 

Exercise

When lifting push air out against the abdominal wall, NOT down toward your anus.Stay hydrated during exercise.Ensure clothing choices don’t irritate the area (this is of particular importance for endurance or high-repetition athletes).

 

Diet

Eat a diet high in fiber and increase fat intake (heart-healthy fats) to make a softer stool.Stay hydrated in general to soften stool.Avoid or thoroughly chew roughage, such as almonds or other nuts (this will severely aggravate existing conditions if irritated).Reduce salt intake to reduce swelling.

 

Treatments

Don’t strain/push while going to the bathroom.Don’t hold it when you need to go.Take a warm bath or a sitz bath (Only needs to be 2-4” deep to rest your bum in).Use moist toilettes to wipe.Don’t use over the counter anti-inflammatory such as aspirin or ibuprofen.See your doctor for any severe case or a persistent case that won’t diminish after two weeks.

 

These simple steps are highly effective in dealing with the symptoms of hemorrhoids, and many can be used as preventative measures as well. I can personally attest to the effectiveness of these methods as a strength athlete with hemorrhoids. By following these methods I am able to squat and deadlift over 700lbs on a weekly basis and rarely have any symptoms.
