I totally get you. Im acouple months into lifting and honestly if I had known you can get an external or internal hemorrhoid, I would have avoided heavy lifting all together. It is too late, since I was introduced to this in late September 2020, Im in love with it and it has affected me and has changed me for the worst down there. Like you said, it doesnt hurt, it is just so damn annoying especially when you have to move your bowels 😩.
@@emilynibaur2866 To be honest Emily, I saw my doctor and she told me to stop heavy lifting all together. It may not sound like much but I was barbell squatting 275lbs and when I stopped, did my cardio and isometric moves like just body weight squats, my quads shrunk bkz im quad dominant. My hemorrhoid didnt change, but when i have a bowel movement is it unpleasant. It doesnt hurt but I use wipes now to clean myself when I have a bowel movement, sucks but at least Im hygienic with it. Im happier without the heavy lifting to honest.
@@lovedove2661 There is no need for women to lift heavy like that. Even for men the barbell back squat is an unnatural lift because of all the load placed directly above the spine. As far as I know hemorrhoids will have to be surgically removed in most cases.
My main form of exercise was an exercise bike and I had zero problems with hemorrhoids. When the belt snapped on the bike, I started doing online workouts that involved squats. Within a week I had hemorrhoids.
This is really helpful! It's great hearing this from someone in your area of expertise. Top weight lifters are very knowledgeable in their field, but it's hard for the average guy to interpret advise from these pros. For example the breath hold during lifting, it adds great stability for heavy loads. But now we know, the average guy should build a strong pelvic floor as a foundation before taking on heavy loads. I'm going to start watching more of your tutorials.
So glad this is helpful Joe, you're spot on - anyone/everyone lifting heavy loads (male/female) needs the pelvic floor as a strong foundation. You've summarised this perfectly! All the best
I totally agree. Ive been searching and searching for this information and have been told otherwise, hold your breath and wear a belt. This woman is amazing, thanks to her.
Michelle thank you for sharing this!!!! I recently got back in the gym and loved the lighting while squatting but experienced my first hemorrhoid which is gone now but I see how it happened. Blessings to you🌹🌹🌹
Hats off to this consultant. The moment I started increasing weights I got aware of this challenge . Hindered me mentally. . I have pretty good mobility. My core bracing was perfect , diaphragmatic breathing was perfect and was following ass to grass. Things I forgot that I realised after being aware of the body is that doing kegel( moolbandha in yoga ) while going down is very very important , belt should be only minimally tight so that with minimal breathing for bracing the cavity between trunk and belt fills ups , No extra wide stance, no delayed holding whilst down and exhale immediately , the moment one is up enough to attain stability for reracking. And wear something supportive to the inguinal and rectum region .
Thank you so much for this upload. You've restored my confidence to continue working out despite my medical issues. I wish you the recognition you deserve!
I just got the first external hemorrhoids in my whole life from my job as a FedEx courier lifting heavy items and reported it as a workplace injury and the doctor said not workplace injury that they've never had anybody reports such a thing. That's a bunch of BS. That's because other people are too embarrassed to report it. Obviously is from the heavy lifting and also from the prolonged sitting in the uncomfortable truck but anyway it went away in a couple of days and now I'm looking for methods to prevent them and this video is very intelligent
@Cbay Mult thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Very much appreciated indeed - I hope you benefit from this video information - wishing you all the best for your recovery! 🙏
Thanks Michelle! Good to see an Aussie video too. Unfortunately I got a haemorrhoid this week from heavy squats, I'll definitely stop using my belt and won't hold my breath like you said. It's unfortunate, the haemorrhoids hurt and now I can't lift.
Hey Kate can you get some proctocedyl? Works like a miracle and yes watch your form when you return, you’ll still be able to squat, just modify your technique and all should be well plus some Kegels too 😉
@@michellephysio does it heal. I have stopped working out which i am so passionate about after i got this last month. I so wish to go back to the gym but I heard it will aggravate my issue
It's the most uncomfortable thing to go through. Thank you so much for sharing professional advise. I observed myself and the stopping my breathe is what did it for me. I hope I dont get flare ups anymore. 😢
@dulcem.hernandezg.4449 I completely understand how uncomfortable it can be. I hope you no longer experience flare-ups moving forward. Wishing you all the best! 🙏
Thanks a ton ma'am for advising me this video. My damage is already done. 8 years of heavy squats and deadlift and heavyweight lifting have causes hemorrhoids and a rectal prolapse in me. This tutorial will help me overcome my condition. I will start by doing those pelvic strengthening exercises mentioned.
@@BusBuss-iy9fo i waited 3 years cuz of this but i said thats enough im doing this anyway and nothing happened man doctors said dont even train biceps it can cause you some problems but im squatting for 4 months now from 130lbs to 315 pounds and i have no problem but i do care about breathing pathern
soooo I had an hemorrhoid surgery. painful? i didnt feel a thing during the procedure. but living the process, you know, my diet and specially going to the bathroom, here's where you find the pain. painful. of course I love squatting, i love exercise tbh and this just made me sad :( i wanna get back, the doc told me i have to take it easy. so thanks for this video. my health is more important, but i still want to enjoy my fitness lifestyle :(
Love the face the model made when doing levels before a squat. I do this face when doing ashwini mudra (a type of yoga kegel/Banda lock). Good info and I got a laugh...thanks.
Ditch the squats and deadlifts but keep the bench press. Substitute the squats and deadlift with leg press and remember to breathe properly to prevent internal pressure and you’ll be fine.
@@tj9382 Please tell me its true, i started gyming before 4 months and got hems prob because of ego lifting. Now its better when I did proper breathing and absolutely ditch squats and deadlifts. I just try to reject that pressure from internals hope I will be good. I wanna know your experience?
@@aneskarichi, personally I don’t do deadlifts but that’s because of previous lower back problems. However, I do squats but as the lady says in this video, just don’t go too heavy and definitely stop ego lifting because whether you have piles or not, it’s just not good in the long run.
@FolksingerFitness thanks for taking the time to comment and yes agreed, there needs to be much more awareness on this topic. Great if viewers can share this info with PT's. Yes re weight belt I agree plus reduces downward pressure on your pelvic floor (and vascual anal cushions that can become hemorrhoids when under load). All the best to you and thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
If I understood your explanation correctly, in the first part Jeff is doing a technically "perfect" squat, but, on the other hand, it is a technique that should be avoided by those who have hemorrhoid problems, at least in part, since we should avoid holding the breath, as well as not using a brace and not going down that much, as Jeff does, correct?
Exactly Fred, Jeff’s squat technique is technical perfection and what many of us strive for however some aspects can be modified to allow continued squats in some guys (& women) with haemorrhoid issues/some rectal problems
I have gym subscription and there are group trainings which contain sqats. I asked trainer if the squats will cause hemorhoids, they all say no, at least with body weight or low addiional weights.
Is their any exercise that I should avoid while having an internal hemmerhoids other than normal squats? I am suffering from constipation so I decided to include exercise in my routine but since I have hemmerhoids I don't know which one worsens it
Michelle, in addition to activating your core, should you be engaging your pelvic floor while doing all doing all exercises, for example, while doing bench press or standing curls?
Great question Denis! Regular Kegels should improve the support so that this isn't necessary however having said this if you're able to contract prior to the deepest part of a squat and then throught the return to standing then this may also help too. The main thing is that you then completely relax your pelvic floor at the top of the squat and avoid overtensing (keeping the pelvic floor contracted can result in pelvic florr spasm). Let me know how you go if you have time, cheers
Just found your video, and had surgery to get them removed. I’ve only just realised they were related to my squatting from this video. Can deadlifting or hip thrusting also cause Haemorrhoid please?
@A. Josh Yes, hemorrhoids from deep squats and deadlifts from the ground are both possible sources contributing to this condition. You can see more information here ruclips.net/video/oL3W--IwuQ0/видео.html .
I hate so much my hemorhoids. I havent lifted weights for so long time, because constantly I have some pain in the ass - little or big. I am not able to get rid of it completely. Maybe a year or so already.
@@BusBuss-iy9fo yes, doctor fixed them, at the end of feb. So 3 months I feel perfect with my ass, started doing pull ups, cycling again and not using my standing desk :) it is so weird that so long time it does not hurt. I also now am less aftraid to travel longer distances because I had a fear what if I it will start hurting during my trip especially when I had spent lot of money.
@@ADuduuj doctor did a ligation. But not again I have this pain. It worked for like 4 months. 4 months were perfect. But he said if this appears again, visit him again. But the pain is not that big so far, I have used detralex at about 2023 august, this helped a lot. And then if there is little pain, I use standing desk, and then pain dissapears. I do sports even when there is small pain. I think I need to continue doing sports and if pain will be unmanagable, then I will be motivated to go to doctor. Becasuse waiting and not doing sports sucks also.
Hi Michelle i really need your advice im overweight just joined gym last week to loose weight, so my gym has minimum of 5kgs i cant even lift beyond that after leg day exercise i had blood in my poop i never had this before so i don't understand where im going wrong i haven't done squats with weights yet
Thank you so much Michelle, I have been looking and searching for this information. I lift and have recently realized that my hemmeroid is getting worse, or I think it is. After hearing this I am realizing my breathing is off.
@@michellephysio Thank you Michelle, I wish you all the success and wellness. I love that you are an Aussie, Im American and my husband is an Aussie. 🇦🇺
@@aneskaric I don't hsve it any longer. Minimizing how much I squat heavy and what I have learned is if you dont have the strength to squat heavy, it naturally develop. Ive learned that after targeting each areas of my legs to support the squat, I don't all my energy into the breath. I wish I knew this before. I can 100% say the one small one I had is completely gone.
Are women supposed to do the same kegel on the lower part of the squat? I inhale when lowering and exhale and engage core (kegel) when returning to standing
Not good for you Luke but at least now you know when things settle down hopefully you can modify your technique and return to squats again, all the best!
Omg can someone recommend exercises to help make your booty round??? I have been squatting heavy and my butt looks amazing!! But I have hemorrhoids now
@Islamic6513 hello there! Weight lifting is wonderful for most men. Some men with pelvic floor problems that you describe are not aware that deep weighted squats can make these problems worse. Squats can be readily modified to allow continued weight training - avoiding deep squats, avoiding very heavy weights and using tight weight belts etc. You may like to watch the info in this video that teaches how to modify deep squats and alternative exercises to reduce the pressure on the anus/rectum I hope you find this video helpful too ruclips.net/video/3TyC6DRWqCM/видео.html All the best to you! MK
I got haemorrhoid when i used to lift heavy before 3 years ago and still i couldn't overcome from this,my haemorrhoid is not bleeding but it gives lot of pain when my stool becomes hard i use to eat almost every day laxative to make stool soft so that it does'nt hurt when i go to defecate,i have controlled it but still in summer when weather becomes hot i face lot of problem with this,and i can't live without exercise but i can't tolerate that pain too,so according to you what should i do,is it safe to take natural laxative for long time because i have'nt other option except this,or i need to go for surgery for its permanent solution how can i get rid from this completely and permanantly,i did'nt bleed yet from it.................
Are you drinking lots of water through the day also are you taking any probiotics? This really helps me with my bowel movements, it keeps it soft and easy to pass. I also use wipes after any bowel movements to clean up really good since the hammerhoid affects how our bowels exit. Hope this helps.
Guys, this exercise actually tightened my pelvic floor to a level that now i have chronic pelvic pain.. Please don’t follow this method for more than a week.. please
@Mr.awati3087 hi there! This squat technique reduces pressure off the pelvic floor so should lessen pelvic floor muscle tension. Deep squats increase pressure on the pelvic floor at the deepest part of the squat. Are you doing alot of core abdo exercise too? Intense core abdominal exercises cocontract the pelvic floor muscles so very important to avoid these along with practicing this pelvic floor relaxation technique for men here ruclips.net/video/Fac5ihuQ1Ws/видео.htmlsi=HMj3lCb7crKHoChk I hope this is helpful info for you and I wish you all the very best 🙏🏼
Thank you. All the things shown here did well, except one thing that literally destroyed my pelvic floor in past 4 months was “engaging pelvic floor during squats” it’s literally like doing kegels with every rep. Which I didn’t realise soon. Until I made it worse and got tons of other symptoms. Please make a video on side effects of continuously holding pelvic floor tight during squat, which can lead to tight pelvic floor and pfd.
I just got the worst hemmeroids ever in my life from power lifting. I was incapacitated for 3 months and this was the most painfull periode of my life. I Will try this!
@@h.a.1516 i dont feel them on my day only when i work out they come back for 2 days and go away ive quit working out for few days im scared that i will never be able to work out again
@@shadowhunter3354 try to change your workout routine. I stopped Squats and deadlifts and put more effort in hip thrusts and lunges with weightplates in my hands. This worked for me. But changing your workout routine is not enough if you want them to go away completely. Lose weight if you are Obese. Try walking more daily. Too much sitting or standing can also be bad for hemrhoids.
Well, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and followed her simple advice.
I am Just 22 I have been working out since 2021 and go to gym 5 days a week sometimes even 6 days a week with progress and Increase in strength I started heavy lifting never had any problem just a month ago after a squat session I felt a lump in my anal area left hand side it flared up and it was so painful and bleeding I went to my Local GP took sitz bath and it healed I was doing fine also decreasing weights not too far just 2 days a go I was having a Bench press session not too heavy just 50 kg I normally used to do 70 again yesterday I felt a pain and lump around my buttocks I am really worried I am obsessed with working out as that's the only thing I enjoy i am really worried about it IS it normal how do i get rid of it DOCTORS JUST SUGGEST SOME PAIN RELIEF OINTMENT
@Ilooklikeme I would suggest holding the Kegel exercise throughout the squat if possible but definitely at the lowest point of the squat and return to standing making sure to exhale at the lowest part and return to standing
Hi Michelle, I've been unfortunate enough to get hemorrhoids from squatting, but since I'm also on a severe calorie deficit I only have bowel movements once or twice a week. I can't really tell if they're still there until its time for a movement so I'm unable to respond reliably. Would reducing the weights by half be enough to ensure I have time to heal, or should I stop doing the exercise completely until I'm sure that I'm pain free?
Hey Tom, allow your body time to heal, then recommence with less weight, yes reduce the weight you're lifting when you recommence and use the technique of not squatting deeply demonstrated in this video plus try not to strain with your bowel movements see here ruclips.net/video/QDk93cvZAuk/видео.html Are you taking osmolax or movicol to soften your stool whilst on the calorie deficit? This should help too, all the best!
@@michellephysio Hi Michelle, Thanks for the quick reply! It's going to be a shame I have to stop doing squats and probably deadlifts for a while, but my backside is way more important. I haven't really taken any medication for it because I thought it'd go away with time. But I'll give the ones you listed a try.
@Bus Buss It turned out to be a dietary problem all along. I took lactulose syrup and it helped ease my BMs until my body got used to my new vegetable heavy diet. No problems ever since.
@@BusBuss-iy9fo I started lifting at home during the pandemic so I mostly learned through youtubers. Try Alan Thrall for in depth guides, and Scott Herman for quick ones. Aside from that, I just recorded myself with my phone and checked for mistakes. If you don't have a coach, the best advice I can give you is to lower the weight and focus on form and technique until it "feels" right. The movement should feel 100% mechanical with no 'weird' sensations of any kind, squatting to full depth is unnecessary unless you want to compete, and at that point you would probably have a coach.
Possibly from the prolonged standing along with other factors ... perhaps body weight, pelvic floor muscle strength/fatigue. You may find that splitting your long walk into 2-3 shorter walks on that day may help too
@@michellephysio I had a sport injury 2 years back.My ACL was partially teared(not a full tear) and Meadial meniscus was fully torn, Though my consultant didn't undergo any surgery to repair.Now , Is it (squat)allowed for me? If not how could i then Focus on my glute and Hamstrings ?
Just hindu squats Flat footed prison squats. Trapbar deadlift volume. If you can do 500 hindu squats in 45mins you need just that and dont need bar loading as you grow older. Just my 2 cents.
Mam, does doing 20×3 squats a day can cause hemorrhoids ?? Not weighted, normal 20×2 and one set(20) with 3kg dumbbells on each hand. I don't have hemorrhoids right now, neither i want them. Mam i don't go to gym. Only home workout, please help me out.
Hi Michelle! may I ask you something? I just want to ask what specific kind of ab exercises are bad for hemorrhoid? because I want to make my abs good looking. And also please recommend some ab exercises I can do
@Axaxaxa unfortunately many of the intense core ab exercises increase pressure on the pelvic floor and hemorrhoids, probably the best to start with is modified kneeling plank, progress to on your feet when the hemorrhoids settle down, hope this helps! 🙏

I also now am less aftraid to travel longer distances because I had a fear what if I it will start hurting during my trip especially when I had spent lot of money.
@@BusBuss-iy9fo interesting to see such words from random human :) thanks :)
How did u get rid of them?would be great help to know what helped you
@@ADuduuj doctor did a ligation. But not again I have this pain. It worked for like 4 months. 4 months were perfect. But he said if this appears again, visit him again. But the pain is not that big so far, I have used detralex at about 2023 august, this helped a lot. And then if there is little pain, I use standing desk, and then pain dissapears. I do sports even when there is small pain. I think I need to continue doing sports and if pain will be unmanagable, then I will be motivated to go to doctor. Becasuse waiting and not doing sports sucks also.
Best information 👍
@Code & Machines So nice of you! Thank you for taking the time to comment. All the best! 🙏 ❤️
Hi Michelle i really need your advice im overweight just joined gym last week to loose weight, so my gym has minimum of 5kgs i cant even lift beyond that after leg day exercise i had blood in my poop i never had this before so i don't understand where im going wrong i haven't done squats with weights yet
What about with kettlebell swings? Do they actually help improve or prevent them?
Very informative thank you
Very welcome
Thank you so much Michelle, I have been looking and searching for this information. I lift and have recently realized that my hemmeroid is getting worse, or I think it is. After hearing this I am realizing my breathing is off.
Love Dove you're most welcome! Yep avoid the breath holding, breathe out on return to standing and try not to squat to deep. Good luck! 💜
@@michellephysio Thank you Michelle, I wish you all the success and wellness. I love that you are an Aussie, Im American and my husband is an Aussie. 🇦🇺
@@lovedove2661 How are you now?
@@aneskaric I don't hsve it any longer. Minimizing how much I squat heavy and what I have learned is if you dont have the strength to squat heavy, it naturally develop. Ive learned that after targeting each areas of my legs to support the squat, I don't all my energy into the breath. I wish I knew this before. I can 100% say the one small one I had is completely gone.
But wish you lived near by. Your videos have helped me so much.
@Yep Wow, thank you! I'm so glad to help you - thanks so much for your support . All the best!🙏 ❤️
Are women supposed to do the same kegel on the lower part of the squat? I inhale when lowering and exhale and engage core (kegel) when returning to standing
Thank you
I realised when I was bracing I was "pushing down" on my abs/pelvic floor rather than "pulling in". I now have stage 3 internal haemorrhoids :(
Not good for you Luke but at least now you know when things settle down hopefully you can modify your technique and return to squats again, all the best!
Omg can someone recommend exercises to help make your booty round??? I have been squatting heavy and my butt looks amazing!! But I have hemorrhoids now
Hip Thrusts are always the best for a well rounded booty even w/ or w/o hemorrhoids. ☺
How are you noww
@@skzstay-philippines4242 heyy, could you recommend more glute workouts which don't make hemorrhoids worse??
I was facing the problem of hemorrhoids and fissure at this situation weight lifting it's safe or not please reply me mam I am form india 😢
@Islamic6513 hello there! Weight lifting is wonderful for most men. Some men with pelvic floor problems that you describe are not aware that deep weighted squats can make these problems worse. Squats can be readily modified to allow continued weight training - avoiding deep squats, avoiding very heavy weights and using tight weight belts etc. You may like to watch the info in this video that teaches how to modify deep squats and alternative exercises to reduce the pressure on the anus/rectum I hope you find this video helpful too ruclips.net/video/3TyC6DRWqCM/видео.html All the best to you! MK
Is it pull off exercise safe for wing muscles during hemorrhoids problem plz guide?
@salman khan My apologies I don’t quite understand your question. Would you mind rewording and submitting this again please?
Thank you!
@Alexander Teel CDP You're welcome!❤️
Damn good video Thanks Subscribed
should I change to box squat instead?
How about hip thrusts?
I got haemorrhoid when i used to lift heavy before 3 years ago and still i couldn't overcome from this,my haemorrhoid is not bleeding but it gives lot of pain when my stool becomes hard i use to eat almost every day laxative to make stool soft so that it does'nt hurt when i go to defecate,i have controlled it but still in summer when weather becomes hot i face lot of problem with this,and i can't live without exercise but i can't tolerate that pain too,so according to you what should i do,is it safe to take natural laxative for long time because i have'nt other option except this,or i need to go for surgery for its permanent solution how can i get rid from this completely and permanantly,i did'nt bleed yet from it.................
I feel ya bro.. 4 months and counting...
Are you drinking lots of water through the day also are you taking any probiotics? This really helps me with my bowel movements, it keeps it soft and easy to pass. I also use wipes after any bowel movements to clean up really good since the hammerhoid affects how our bowels exit. Hope this helps.
Runing is harmful in fissure or piles
I got pain in right knee and burning in left ,concern with doc he recommended only rest,now i didnot squats from the last 2 weaks😟any suggetions dear.
Rest awhile then
Don’t stop it gets worse when you stop go to a new doctor
Does squatting result in intestinal constriction?
Not to the best of my knowledge
Guys, this exercise actually tightened my pelvic floor to a level that now i have chronic pelvic pain.. Please don’t follow this method for more than a week.. please
@Mr.awati3087 hi there! This squat technique reduces pressure off the pelvic floor so should lessen pelvic floor muscle tension. Deep squats increase pressure on the pelvic floor at the deepest part of the squat. Are you doing alot of core abdo exercise too? Intense core abdominal exercises cocontract the pelvic floor muscles so very important to avoid these along with practicing this pelvic floor relaxation technique for men here ruclips.net/video/Fac5ihuQ1Ws/видео.htmlsi=HMj3lCb7crKHoChk I hope this is helpful info for you and I wish you all the very best 🙏🏼
Thank you. All the things shown here did well, except one thing that literally destroyed my pelvic floor in past 4 months was “engaging pelvic floor during squats” it’s literally like doing kegels with every rep. Which I didn’t realise soon. Until I made it worse and got tons of other symptoms.
Please make a video on side effects of continuously holding pelvic floor tight during squat, which can lead to tight pelvic floor and pfd.
Recently I have experience with hemorrhoids I am really frustrated 🥴
I just got the worst hemmeroids ever in my life from power lifting. I was incapacitated for 3 months and this was the most painfull periode of my life. I Will try this!
i just got them man any tips and do they ever go away
@@shadowhunter3354 yeah dude. Try 72 hour water fasting. They heal fast when there is no bleek movement. I am still battling them today!
@@h.a.1516 i dont feel them on my day only when i work out they come back for 2 days and go away ive quit working out for few days im scared that i will never be able to work out again
@@shadowhunter3354 try to change your workout routine. I stopped Squats and deadlifts and put more effort in hip thrusts and lunges with weightplates in my hands. This worked for me. But changing your workout routine is not enough if you want them to go away completely. Lose weight if you are Obese. Try walking more daily. Too much sitting or standing can also be bad for hemrhoids.
Rn I regret doing squats that shit is uncomfortable no lie even just talking about it to someone
Well, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and followed her simple advice.
I am Just 22 I have been working out since 2021 and go to gym 5 days a week sometimes even 6 days a week with progress and Increase in strength I started heavy lifting never had any problem just a month ago after a squat session I felt a lump in my anal area left hand side it flared up and it was so painful and bleeding I went to my Local GP took sitz bath and it healed I was doing fine also decreasing weights not too far just 2 days a go I was having a Bench press session not too heavy just 50 kg I normally used to do 70 again yesterday I felt a pain and lump around my buttocks I am really worried I am obsessed with working out as that's the only thing I enjoy i am really worried about it IS it normal how do i get rid of it DOCTORS JUST SUGGEST SOME PAIN RELIEF OINTMENT
So you hold to kegel the whole time during the squat from the top to bottom of the motion?
@Ilooklikeme I would suggest holding the Kegel exercise throughout the squat if possible but definitely at the lowest point of the squat and return to standing making sure to exhale at the lowest part and return to standing
Hi Michelle, I've been unfortunate enough to get hemorrhoids from squatting, but since I'm also on a severe calorie deficit I only have bowel movements once or twice a week. I can't really tell if they're still there until its time for a movement so I'm unable to respond reliably. Would reducing the weights by half be enough to ensure I have time to heal, or should I stop doing the exercise completely until I'm sure that I'm pain free?
Hey Tom, allow your body time to heal, then recommence with less weight, yes reduce the weight you're lifting when you recommence and use the technique of not squatting deeply demonstrated in this video plus try not to strain with your bowel movements see here ruclips.net/video/QDk93cvZAuk/видео.html Are you taking osmolax or movicol to soften your stool whilst on the calorie deficit? This should help too, all the best!
@@michellephysio Hi Michelle, Thanks for the quick reply! It's going to be a shame I have to stop doing squats and probably deadlifts for a while, but my backside is way more important.
I haven't really taken any medication for it because I thought it'd go away with time. But I'll give the ones you listed a try.
@Bus Buss It turned out to be a dietary problem all along. I took lactulose syrup and it helped ease my BMs until my body got used to my new vegetable heavy diet. No problems ever since.
@Bus Buss I never needed to stop. Looking back, it was irrational of me to assume the exercise caused it in the first place.
@@BusBuss-iy9fo I started lifting at home during the pandemic so I mostly learned through youtubers. Try Alan Thrall for in depth guides, and Scott Herman for quick ones. Aside from that, I just recorded myself with my phone and checked for mistakes. If you don't have a coach, the best advice I can give you is to lower the weight and focus on form and technique until it "feels" right. The movement should feel 100% mechanical with no 'weird' sensations of any kind, squatting to full depth is unnecessary unless you want to compete, and at that point you would probably have a coach.
Why do I have hemorrhoids when I have long walks?
Possibly from the prolonged standing along with other factors ... perhaps body weight, pelvic floor muscle strength/fatigue. You may find that splitting your long walk into 2-3 shorter walks on that day may help too
@@michellephysio I had a sport injury 2 years back.My ACL was partially teared(not a full tear) and Meadial meniscus was fully torn, Though my consultant didn't undergo any surgery to repair.Now , Is it (squat)allowed for me? If not how could i then Focus on my glute and Hamstrings ?
Just hindu squats
Flat footed prison squats.
Trapbar deadlift volume.
If you can do 500 hindu squats in 45mins you need just that and dont need bar loading as you grow older. Just my 2 cents.
I'm lucky, Michelle...squats don't hurt my one, lonely bummaroid! :) :) :)
Good news Theo!
Mam, does doing 20×3 squats a day can cause hemorrhoids ??
Not weighted, normal 20×2 and one set(20) with 3kg dumbbells on each hand.
I don't have hemorrhoids right now, neither i want them. Mam i don't go to gym. Only home workout, please help me out.
Hard to predict who will and won’t suffer hemorrhoids but often associated with constipation and straining to empty the bowel
Hi Michelle! may I ask you something? I just want to ask what specific kind of ab exercises are bad for hemorrhoid? because I want to make my abs good looking. And also please recommend some ab exercises I can do
@Axaxaxa unfortunately many of the intense core ab exercises increase pressure on the pelvic floor and hemorrhoids, probably the best to start with is modified kneeling plank, progress to on your feet when the hemorrhoids settle down, hope this helps! 🙏
Here because I don’t want a literal pain in my ass to stop the gain train
