Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids occur in both women and men, but the causes are more common for women , partly because pregnancy can play an important role in its development. The factors that may play a role in the development of hemorrhoids include prolonged sitting or standing, constipation, pregnancy, heavy lifting, obesity, a poor diet low in fiber, and a lack of exercise. Heredity can also play a role in the development of hemorrhoids. In general, the cause is tension (and imbalance) in the pelvic floor, and the causes for this are also more common for women. In this article you can read more about what you can do with a yoni egg and de-armouring to experience more balance in the muscles around your anus, because an important cause of hemorrhoids is tension in and around the anus. When there are imbalances in this area, the risks of hemorrhoids increase.

Hemorrhoids occur when the veins in the rectum or anus become swollen and irritated, usually due to excessive pressure on the anus. This causes the veins in the rectum to swell and bulges to form in the veins that can occur both internally and externally. Hemorrhoids cause pain, itching and also the risk of blood loss during stool. The pressure can be caused by, for example, straining while defecating, but also by continuous pressure on the anus, which you may not notice. It is common for women to suffer from hemorrhoids due to childbirth. What's annoying is that hemorrhoids have difficulty repairing themselves because the skin is already stretched. By adjusting the balance in your pelvic floor, you may experience fewer problems with hemorrhoids, but they will not disappear completely. If you need surgical help and you are reading this, it is extremely valuable to work on this area so that you will not develop hemorrhoids again in the future.

Important exercises to do with the yoni egg have to do with the awareness (tightening and relaxing separately) of the different muscle groups in the pelvic floor area.
At de-armouring you can bring attention to the muscle groups and tissue around the anus where tension is stored.

Learn to release more tension from your entire abdomen when lifting, exercising and defecating, and keep your pelvic floor firm.

Try this while you read this: Tense your abdominal muscles, as if you were lifting something, and not just in the lower part of your abdomen, and not just the outer muscle layers, also tighten the muscles higher and deeper in your abdomen, see see if you can keep your pelvic floor firm at the same time.

The yoni yoga basic exercise Kegels, not only with your vagina, but also with your anus!

Pull your vaginal muscles up (with or without the egg in), hold for a few seconds, and then release and relax. Repeat several times. Do the same with your anus.

It is important to learn to also use your pelvic floor when exercising, otherwise extra pressure will be put on the pelvic floor, and therefore the anus, while ‘the anus cannot bear that’ .
