HOW CAN PHYSIO HELP?
WHAT IS IT?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in your anus and/or lower rectum. They can be both internal (where you cannot see them) or external (where you might notice a bump around your anus). Hemorrhoids can cause pain, itching, bleeding, or you might have no symptoms at all!
WHAT CAUSES IT?
Any situation resulting in increased pressure in the rectum can lead to hemorrhoids. Common situations are:
- Constipation
- Inappropriate straining during exercise
- Pregnancy
- Excessive body weight
HOW CAN PHYSIO HELP?
Your pelvic floor physio will assess you globally, including a detailed history on your lifestyle habits and a physical evaluation to determine the cause(s) for your hemorrhoids. Your problem will likely be addressed through a variety of specific exercises, manual techniques, rectal sensitization exercises, and tips on how to adjust your lifestyle to manage your problem. Our goal is to guide you to be able to meet your goals, and return to your daily life with comfort!
