A member asked:
Could strength training cause hemorrrhoids? i had internal 'roids in the past; had bandings done; doc says they're no longer enlarged but i have small ones (i guess meaning they're normal?) i do weight machines; try to breathe properly. is this risky?

Straining can increase hemorrhoids so if that is happening with the weight training, then it is a risk. Perhaps a trainer can show you how to do this weight training without straining so that your risk is lower. Best of luck to you!
