Hemorrhoids can cause insertion to be uncomfortable when using the rectal probe, but unless they are very deep or have bled in the past, they should not affect your exercise. Note that you should never use any penetration when you have actively bleeding lesions in the area. You should also be aware that exercise in the area can draw more blood flow and could potentially increase the size of the hemorrhoids temporarily. That being said, kegel exercise is a recommended treatment for hemorrhoids and has been shown to alleviate their symptoms. We usually suggest the women use the vaginal probe for kegel work, even when the intention is to reduce hemorrhoids because this method is just a effective and often more comfortable.
