How I Treat My Symptoms
“I sat a lot while I was nursing, so I bought one of those donut-shaped cushions and tried to stand up and move around as often as possible.”
“My doctor said that new moms can be constipated and that constipation can cause flare-ups, so I’m trying to eat better, drink lots of water and take walks. It all helps. To help relieve the pain, I sit in a warm, shallow bath and afterwards pat it dry. Then I gently pat on Preparation H® Ointment for relief from painful burning and itching.
Reduce the Risk of Flare-Ups
Some exercises can help reduce your risk of flare-ups by stimulating bowel function and/or toning the rectal area. Stimulating bowel function limits constipation (a cause of hemorrhoid flare-ups). Exercise that boosts your heart rate increases blood flow to your rectal area. This strengthens supportive tissue (to help prevent flare-ups) and delivers nutrients and oxygen to inflamed areas (to help relieve flare-ups).Moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking 20 minutes a day, can stimulate bowel function* as well as enhance blood flow and muscle tone. Other beneficial cardio activities include running, swimming and aerobics.
Certain exercise, such as yoga, enhance muscle tone and may reduce your symptoms and risk of flare-ups.
