From the Jan/Feb issue of Bicycling Magazine
Poorly fitting seats can be the cause of many pains in the rear, but hemorrhoids--swollen, painful blood vessels in and around the anus--are not one of them.
In fact, it is noted that cycling can help prevent them by improving your blood circulation and muscle tone.
Your actual problem may be a diet filled with too many white breads and refined foods. You need more fruits, vegetables and good old clean water. Oh yeah, continue riding your bicycle.
