Sup peeps... well i got my first one.
Had a bout with Ecoli and it appeared. Had it for about 2 months. Had to stop working out at the gym and all because of it. Went to the docs and they said it wasnt a big deal but to just let it run its course and it will eventually go away.
Fast forward to today, it went away and subsided. Now when is it safe to work out again as in lift weights and stuff? do i have to be mindful of these things now going forward or nah.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You should be OK, give it a test run. Once these subside, they are usually gone until jacked up for the typical reasons. Some people get them every so often (couple time a year of varying intensity), some people never do.
Biggest causes: shitting the extremes (rocks or excessive splash down), and certain foods - this can get me, but I pretty much avoid them now
I never thought lifting caused them, and I cycle like 120+ miles week for the last 30+ years, and that never caused them, but both activities can be uncomfortable after you get them
If they get chronic - rubber ban ligation works great for most issues (i have never had to do this), and they are usually gone for good. Most people over time have a few and one can flare up (sorry - starting to sound like a Prep H commercial, but you get the gist).
I got them initially when I was 27, that was 31 years ago, i rarely get them, but once a year or two now. Eventually you figure out how to avoid them.
lmfao!
#1 you need to speak to your physician but
in general, increased intrabdominal pressure from things such as valsalva (i.e."bearing down") increases the risk of hemorrhoids. Things like squats, deadlifts, and bench press really forcefully engage the core and increase pressure. With this in mind, why not do extremity lifts (e.g. curls, leg iso stuff) and maybe even dips/pullups just to get back into working out while minimizing the risk?

make it flare up again so close to when the dumb thing went down
