hemorhoids and running

I am not a doctor but would guess that running does not cause them however, once you do have them running could make them worse... my guess is that bad diet, too much strainning and staying too long on the bowl are the real causes.

I think they can cause them, or at least worsen them, but I can't explain it. They only happen to me when training hard (by my standards...45 MPW or more).

"hemorrhoids"

I had some errosion around my stomach as well, possibly from my gastric juices. After a hard effort I feel my whole GI tract taking a beating and now my hemorroids. I don't mean to gross out anyone but I just wonder if anyone else has this!

here's my experience for what its worth:

when i was told to try keep my pelvis level, use my abs a bit more when running, i took it too far. i squeezed too hard, and without my knowing was squeezing EVERYWHERE if u get me.

not enough fibre makes you squeeze when your on the toilet and the cumulated effect is your problem.

a good cream, fibre, lots of fluids will sort things out.
