How does losing weight help the hemorrhoids?
April 29th, 2009 | 
Author: Ok I'm really desperate. I asked this question in other sections. I went to all these sites online that say to lose weight if you want relief from hemorrhoids. I get that you need to exercise to help move your bowels but I still don't understand how losing weight helps the hemmorrhoids? None of these sites explain that. I'm so confused and I already went to the doctor, and I'm just very desperate. Please help.

I would say if you're carrying a lot of weight in your abdomen it would put pressure around your rectum. Pregnant women sometimes have problems with hemorrhoids because of the pressure.
less pressure on your butt when you sit down.
Losing weight doesn't relieve hemorrhoids but will make you feel better about yourself !!!!
that way your bw wont have pressure bcause of weight like being female being pregnant baby puts pressure on etc
