Do better seats prevent a flare up in hemorrhoid symptoms?
Hello everyone. I almost got back into riding after severals years. I had test rode and almost committed to buying a used Honda 2021 NC750X. However, later that day, and a few days after, I began to experience mild hemorrhoid symptoms, so I didn’t follow through with the purchase. The symptoms aren’t new, per say, but haven’t occurred in months, so it appears riding may have caused the symptoms (I won’t bore y’all with details on how I narrowed it down to this, but it’s pretty clear to me that riding caused it).
Has anyone prevented such flare ups with a more comfortable seat (e.g., the Honda OEM comfort seat, Corbin, Sergeant, etc.)?
Research on reddit for hemorrhoid-flare-up-prevention has basically amounted to “ride a cruiser”. I really really liked the NC750X, so I don’t want to “settle” for a type of bike I don’t want. I also don’t want to wear biker shorts (I plan to commute and don’t want to change in the bathroom every day at work).
Essentially, I don’t want to commit to buying if it’s unlikely that any fixes will work.
Any suggestions?
