Active life position, associated with feasible physical activity - is a guarantee of health and well-being. At the same time, modern tendencies to reduce physical exertion, when work is mostly sedentary, and get to work and work from transport, significantly reduce the possibility of active movement. Yes, and on weekends preference is given to passive rest. This way of life contributes to the development of such a disease as hemorrhoids. On the other hand, people who engage in physical work get a chance to get sick, they spend a lot of time on their feet and sportsmen in power sports.
Both in the first and in the second case, normal blood circulation, provoking the formation of hemorrhoidal nodes, inflammatory processes in the rectal area is disrupted. That is, after physical exertion, hemorrhoids may well develop if this load is excessive and exceeds the capacity of the body. At the same time, small physical activity with hemorrhoids eliminates stagnation, normalizes blood flow, preventing the development and deepening of the symptoms of the disease. In addition, sports exercises enhance immunity, beneficially acting on the body.
The mechanism of the development of the disease is associated with the changes occurring in the muscles of the pelvis occurring during the lifting of weights. Cutting, the muscles shorten, and the muscle fibers squeeze the blood capillaries that pass inside them. Normal blood flow in the circulatory system of the anus becomes impossible and provokes stagnant phenomena. Regular circulatory disorders in the pelvic region and anus, occurring at the same time, lead to the development of hemorrhoids after exercise.
When blood is stagnant in blood vessels, the products of cell disintegration accumulate. Entering into chemical reactions with the epithelium of the vessels, they violate their integrity, provoking inflammation in the anus. A sharp increase in the load causes a rush of blood in the lower limbs. After the cessation of its effect, the venous system of the lower part of the body is filled with blood, stretching the walls of the vessels and contributing to the development of varicose veins.
Loads with hemorrhoids
The main rule of the phys. Loads with hemorrhoids are their application in a gentle mode. In the home, therapeutic gymnastics can be practiced without special adaptations and it is enough to allocate up to twenty minutes a day for classes. In addition to such home exercises with hemorrhoids it is useful to practice the following sports:
- swimming;
- sports walking;
- running.
A good result is given by active sports, stretching exercises, squats. Classes in the gym, including those associated with the workloads are allowed in the remission phase and without the threat of hemorrhoidal nodes.
Hemorrhoids after physical exertion
Occupation with manual labor classifies people from this category as a risk group. The loaders, builders and even housewives carrying heavy bags, as well as sportsmen engaged in sports such as
- weightlifting can get sick.
- bodybuilding;
- powerlifting.
Symptoms of the disease can be:
- pain in the anus;
- sensation of presence of a foreign body in the rectum;
- difficulty with stool with possible impurities of blood and mucus.
Treatment begins with a temporary failure of the load and after eliminating the acute symptoms, you can resume your studies, but with much less intensity. In addition, on the recommendation of the proctologist, medication and traditional medicine are used.
Excessive pressure on the walls of veins, causes pouring of hemorrhoids and manifests itself in exacerbation of hemorrhoids. The muscles are characterized by two types of stress - dynamic and static. With dynamic tension, the muscles in the rectal region and legs alternately contract and relax, causing the legs to move to perform a particular action. Static work of muscles is necessary for keeping the body in a certain position and the stressed muscles do not relax for some time. Static stress is especially dangerous when the weight moves from bottom to top, remaining standing in place, what happens when you practice barbells, kettlebell lifting.
Therefore, if necessary, to do such movements, lifting the load, it is recommended to take small steps to the side. When performing exercises with lifting the barbell or weights, alternate the slopes downwards with straightened legs with incomplete squats, using the muscles of the back and legs. With hemorrhoids, physical loads can be resolved, but, first, reduce them, and secondly, exclude exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure.
Physical activity after the operation of hemorrhoids
With advanced or acute forms of the disease, which are also burdened by severe inflammation, the only cardinal solution to the problem will be surgery to remove hemorrhoid cones. After surgery, the most important is the recovery period, during which the risks of returning the disease are minimized. Usually this period lasts from three to five weeks and then, if you observe a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, you can not be afraid for 10-15 years of relapse. Relapse of the disease can occur much earlier, if after the operation of hemorrhoids physical activity is not corrected. During the recovery period, it is recommended to practice yoga, movements that restore normal blood flow in the rectum and anus. As healing( 2-3 months), you can resume the exercises in the gym. At first, when it is possible to lift weights after a hemorrhoids operation, they should not exceed the athlete's own weight.
A pathological change in the veins of the rectum leads to dystrophy of connective and muscular tissue, and the removal of hemorrhoid cones does not mean the elimination of this pathology. Therefore, after the completion of the recovery period, the actual problem remains what weight can be raised with hemorrhoids. To give unambiguous recommendations in this case is impossible. The level of force load depends on the person's age, the state of his cardiovascular system, the presence of other diseases, and the degree of vascular damage. Therefore, the main in determining its intensity is the need to strengthen the walls of the veins in the rectal area, return to them elasticity and as a result of the normalization of blood flow.
