Can squats cause hemroids.

[cwc73]

My college roommate says that he had a mild case of Hemroids in highschool. He credited it with doing squats. He hasn't done them since then. He and I have started a HST cycle. HE has been doing squats with the program. He says that they are worse now.

I want to know if squats can cause them. Also, what can he do--short of going to the doctor first-- to help himself out.

Thanks

Absolutely...........anything that requires you to strain and hold your breath for a long period of time can cause hemroids............google it.

So could high blood pressure, benchpress, deadlifts, and anything else that puts a strain on your body.

There are LOTS of people who have never seen the inside of a gym who have them as well.

I'd check the blood pressure out first.

Heh, i think of hemmorhoids as an indication that i'm working hard enough...or not breathing enough, i dunno

Kinda like a scar...or a battle wound...
