Sitting for Long Periods of Time
Sitting for long periods of time will deteriorate your hemorrhoids. The reason for this is after a prolonged period of sitting the blood circulation slows down, as it's blocked off by sitting.
Therefore inner pressures are created to push the blood along.
This condition is worse with an external hemorrhoid.
The reason for this being: Firstly the blood will struggle a lot more to circulate with an external hemorrhoid being compressed between a seat and your rectum cheeks.
Secondly the extra pain you will cause by pushing pressure on the external hemorrhoid by sitting on it will be excruciating.
These pressures ultimately will result in deteriorating your hemorrhoids. This could cause a bleeding rectum, or more swelling of the hemorrhoid.
But most importantly the part that we are interested with is it could cause a lot more PAIN.
It is best to avoid long periods of sitting when you are experiencing a bout of hemorrhoids.
Take a few days off work until the hemorrhoids settle down. Alternatively if this is not possible, try at least standing for ten minutes in the hour.
This will relieve the circulation a little and thus will avoid putting any more pressure on the hemorrhoids than you already have.
