Another fitness move is going viral! A man's hemorrhoids ruptured after trying it! Doctor: Not suitable for everyone...

In the movie, Ip Man is a master of martial arts, and his classic squatting posture left a deep impression on the audience and was called the "Ip Man squat."

Recently, after a young man who repaired a car made the "Ip Man Squat" popular, a challenge craze of the "Ip Man Squat" arose on short video platforms, dominating the hot search list.

However, among the many challengers, medical student Xiao Chen is the most "unfortunate" one.

During the imitation, he used too much force, causing his hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed. He was eventually hospitalized and had no choice but to shoot the video in the ward.

The reporter saw that at present, when searching for terms related to "Ip Man Squat" on the short video platform, the official has given a warm reminder of "Professional movements, please be careful when imitating."

Challenge the "Ip Man Squat"

Medical student was hospitalized after hemorrhoids ruptured

The popular "Ip Man Squat" on the Internet is to squat on one leg and stretch the other leg straight in the air, parallel to the ground. After the "Ip Man Squat" became popular, a wave of "Ip Man Squat" challenge emerged on short video platforms, and many netizens posted their own challenge videos. Some people believe that the "Ip Man Squat" can enhance leg strength and exercise the entire lower body. However, some people remind that although the "Ip Man Squat" has the effect of strengthening the body, it is not suitable for everyone.

Netizen Xiao Chen (@橘子皮放久了的陈) is the "victim" of this challenge. On June 16, Xiao Chen posted a video of himself sitting on a hospital bed, writing helplessly: "About the incident where I challenged the Ip Man squat but accidentally used too much force and had to be hospitalized for hemorrhoids."

His "car rollover" scene made netizens feel sad and funny. Later, the reporter contacted the person involved, Xiao Chen, who said that he was a student at Southwest Medical University. After watching the "Ip Man Squat" challenge video many times, he also began to be eager to try it, "just want to give it a try."

Xiao Chen said that he had hemorrhoids, but he didn't expect this exercise to have such a big impact on them. He squatted too hard on the day of the challenge, which eventually caused the hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed, so he had to go to the hospital for treatment. He posted the video online. As a medical student and an intern in the anorectal department, his experience also made many netizens laugh, and they teased him for "boosting the department's performance."

Action is risky

The "Ip Man Squat" may also cause joint injuries

According to Zeng Guojian, chief physician of the anorectal department of the Fifth People's Hospital of Chengdu, the abdominal pressure is very high when squatting in the "Ip Man squat". Hemorrhoids are originally vascular diseases. When the pressure is too high, it is easy to rupture and bleed. But he said that this situation usually occurs in people with a history of hemorrhoids, "who may already be in the third or fourth stage of hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids are divided into four stages, and the condition gradually worsens from stage one to stage four)".

Zeng Guojian reminded that hemorrhoids will form wounds after rupture. If they are not treated, they are easy to get infected at the anus, so he suggested that surgery should be performed promptly after bleeding. He does not recommend people with a history of hemorrhoids or inguinal oblique hernia to do the "Ip Man squat", nor women with uterine prolapse or pelvic floor muscle relaxation, "which may aggravate the condition."

In the opinion of Dr. Liu Hui, chief technician of the Rehabilitation Department of Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital, the "Ip Man Squat" has very high requirements on the overall hip, knee and ankle functions of the lower limbs. It not only requires thigh strength, but also requires normal angles of the hip, knee and ankle joints. If these parts have been injured, painful or not mobile enough, this movement should not be done easily.

If the angles of the hip, knee, and ankle joints are not sufficient and the overall force line of the lower limbs is not good when squatting, doing this movement may cause falls, sprained joints, strained thigh muscles, or increased joint strain.

Pay attention to these points when squatting

It is not recommended for this group of people to try

Liu Hui told reporters that people with a certain level of sports skills, such as those who practiced gymnastics or martial arts when they were young, can try it. Young people can also do it, but before doing it, they need to check the range of motion of the hip, knee, and ankle joints, the stability of the lower limbs when standing on one leg, the smoothness of the squatting movement, and the force line of the lower limbs when squatting. If there are any abnormalities in the above tests, it cannot be done.

In addition, it is recommended to do warm-up exercises and stretch the lower limb muscles before doing it. Try squatting with both lower limbs first and then squatting with one lower limb. "When squatting, the angle of knee flexion should not exceed 90 degrees, and the knee should not exceed the toes, the force line of the lower limb hip, knee and ankle should be normal, and the knee joint should not be inward." If it exceeds, the pressure between the patella and femur will increase suddenly, which will wear or damage the cartilage between the two.

Liu Hui recommends not to do it for the elderly, children, people with meniscus, ligament, articular cartilage damage and joint instability. If you can complete the movements, you must pay attention to factors such as exercise volume and exercise load, and must follow the FITT-VP principle of exercise prescription. If you have symptoms, go to a professional sports injury institution immediately.
