A member asked:
Salutations, is sleeping on the side with a pillow between the legs a useful practice also for males to improve the state of hemorrhoids (circulation, deflation of the veins, etc.) or only for pregnant women? should it also be used during daytime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That position for sleeping is no better or worse than sleeping supine or prone. It depends on one's comfort and preference.
