Therapeutic gymnastics and physical training with hemorrhoids: basics and exercises

Sluggishness or work in a sitting position are the main factors contributing to the development of hemorrhoids.

Stagnation in the blood system of the colon provokes the formation of nodes that bleed and become inflamed, causing painful sensations in the external hemorrhoids, and provoking the prolapse of the nodes at the internal.

The second factor that adversely affects the venous state of the anus is chronic diarrhea and constipation. This can be avoided by adhering to proper nutrition, thereby helping to rid the body of digestive products.

Virtually all people experiencing trouble with hemorrhoids believe that with this disease it is impossible to go to the gym or engage in physical education. This is fundamentally wrong.

On the contrary, during an exacerbation of sports it is necessary to be engaged. The main thing is to do it correctly, so as not to worsen your condition.

When the pain in the anus is discouraging any movement to go, you still need to do warm-ups and easy walks, well, physiotherapy can be done even when lying down or sitting.

Physical training: what is useful and what is not?

Suffering hemorrhoids need to be responsible for taking part in sports. Physical exercises can not be equally useful: some help to recover, others, on the contrary, can seriously aggravate the patient's condition.

First of all, it is forbidden:

• power load;
• movement, increasing pressure inside the peritoneum and anus;
• overstrain of the sciatic and calf muscles.

This all can provoke:

• weightlifting;
• deep squats;
• training with dumbbells, etc.;
• exercises for the press: lifting legs, twisting, tilting back / forward;
• sharp flops kicking.

General recommendations

Based on the above, classes should be conducted only with a clear understanding of their condition and, of course, follow general recommendations:

• doing any exercises, do not hold your breath;
• move smoothly, without jerking;
• do not perform exercises that cause pain in the lower part of the pelvis;
• start physical training with the least load, gradually increasing the repetitions and their intensity.

To improve the patient's condition, it is necessary to conduct classes that relate to cardio-loadings, that is, strengthening the vascular system. This includes swimming, easy running, sports and ski walking.

Medical gymnastics

Treatment and prevention of hemorrhoids should be comprehensive, that is, consist of diet, medication and therapeutic gymnastics.

The main goal of the latter is to activate the blood flow and restore the tone to the muscles of the rectum. This well strengthens hemorrhoidal vessels, eliminates stagnation in the veins, normalizes defecation, allowing you to get rid of constipation.

For complex exercises, you need about fifteen minutes, so try to allocate this time daily. In this case, the positive effect will be felt in a week.

Perform exercises preferably after defecation. If you are concerned about hemorrhoids and interfere with exercise, numb them with candles or take a warm bath, then lubricate the nodes with a special anesthetic ointment.

Regular performance of complex exercises will not only help alleviate discomfort, but also relieve inflammation and swelling, bringing the patient closer to recovery.

It is recommended to continue gymnastics during remission. The combination of proper nutrition with therapeutic exercises will help if not to completely get rid of hemorrhoids, then at least make the periods of exacerbation rare and less painful.
