Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Plank exercises are beneficial for hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are often associated with constipation, and planks can help prevent constipation, thereby promoting hemorrhoid improvement. Pay attention to your daily diet: consume more leafy green vegetables and fruits, and limit spicy, raw, cold, or irritating foods to prevent constipation. For severe constipation, osmotic laxatives may be used for relief. After bowel movements, take a warm-water bath and apply hemorrhoid ointment.
