Unbalanced Diets and Intense Exercise: When the Path to Fitness Leads to Disease
In recent years, the concept of “health” has been shaped less by medical science and more by images promoted on social media. Rapid weight loss, extreme muscle building, and achieving an ideal body shape have pushed many individuals toward highly restrictive diets and intense workout routines—often without considering the body’s true capacity and physiological mechanisms. The human body is an intelligent, balance-oriented system, and sudden or excessive pressure can lead to hidden yet serious consequences.
One of the first systems to be affected by restrictive elimination diets is the digestive system. Low-carbohydrate and fiber-deficient diets reduce stool volume and slow intestinal motility, creating the conditions for chronic constipation. Prolonged retention of waste in the colon leads to excessive water absorption, resulting in hard, dry stools. This cycle causes repeated straining during bowel movements, which directly increases pressure in the **** veins and can lead to hemorrhoids, bleeding, and vascular prolapse.
In the early stages, dietary adjustments and correction of bowel habits may be effective. However, in advanced cases, hemorrhoids represent a structural change, and home remedies merely delay proper medical treatment. Postponing a medical visit increases the risk of complications such as thrombosis or severe inflammation.
On the other hand, intense exercise without proper biomechanical principles poses its own risks. Heavy strength-training movements such as squats and deadlifts—especially when combined with breath-holding (the Valsalva maneuver)—dramatically increase intra-abdominal pressure. This pressure is transmitted to the pelvic floor and **** region and may result in **** fissures—small but extremely painful tears often accompanied by intense burning and muscle spasm.
If bacteria penetrate deeper tissues through these fissures, there is a risk of abscess formation and eventually **** fistula, a chronic condition that does not resolve without specialized treatment and can severely impair both physical activity and quality of life.
In addition, a sedentary lifestyle also plays a role. Prolonged sitting—particularly in individuals with excessive body hair—can lead to pilonidal cysts (pilonidal sinus), a condition that often remains unnoticed until infection and severe pain develop.
The important point is that many of these conditions can now be treated using minimally invasive and laser-based methods, which significantly reduce pain, bleeding, and recovery time. However, the key to successful treatment remains early diagnosis and avoidance of self-treatment.
Conclusion
True physical fitness is the result of balance—between proper nutrition, mindful exercise, and attention to the body’s warning signals. Ignoring pain, bleeding, or abnormal discharge comes at a high cost. If long-term health is the goal, we must care for internal function as much as outward appearance. Seeking timely evaluation by a medical specialist is the most intelligent choice on the path to lasting health.
