The provoking factors for the occurrence of this disease are also a genetic predisposition, pregnancy and childbirth, excessive stress, regular constipation.
In the treatment of hemorrhoids, a whole range of measures can be used: surgical intervention, lifestyle changes, a special diet, drug treatment, special exercises. Any degree of hemorrhoids can be treated in modern medicine. But at any stage of the disease, exercise will not be out of place.

Kegel Exercise Complex
The German gynecologist Arnold Kegel has developed his own technique for solving the problems of urination in women in the postpartum period. Today, these exercises are often recommended for men, as this scheme helps not only with incontinence and hemorrhoids, but also with prostatitis and erectile dysfunction.
In addition, many doctors recommend Kegel exercises for women. At home, ladies can, in addition to preventing hemorrhoids, also get additional benefits: train the muscles of the vagina.
Kegel’s technique includes three basic exercises:
- Gradual slow compression of the pelvic muscles for 3-4 seconds, then their relaxation is the same in duration.
- The fastest muscle contraction. It is recommended to gradually increase speed.
- Muscle tension of the perineum, ejection, as in the act of defecation.
All exercises must be repeated several times a day, gradually increasing the number of repetitions, the duration of muscle delays in tension.

Yoga as a prevention of hemorrhoids
This discipline has long been proven effective in the fight against the elimination of congestion in our body, one of which is the varicose veins of the small pelvis. Starting yoga alone is unsafe. Most asanas require attention from an experienced trainer. Of course, some basic poses can be taken at home even for beginners. But for effective work on the body, for the correct distribution of forces and energy within the body, you still need a teacher. Indeed, in yoga, everything is interconnected. For example, the correct location of the pelvis, and therefore the organs, muscles and blood vessels located in it, depends on the correct placement of the feet.
