Can haemorrhoid affect on heavy lifting?

Aggravates: Heavy lifting may aggravate hemorrhoids as can prolonged sitting on the toilet and straining during a bowel movement.

Hemorrhoids won't: Really affect lifting unless they are very uncomfortable but heavy lifting and the associated valsalva(abdominal straining) that accompanies heavy lifting can worsen hemorrhoids.
