Kindly let me know what causes Hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus caused by increased pressure in the lower rectum. Common causes and contributing factors include: Straining During Bowel Movements because constipation or diarrhea can lead to excessive straining, which increases pressure on rectal veins.
The other cause is prolonged sitting for long periods, especially on the toilet, which can strain the veins in the rectum. In addition, pregnancy due to the growing uterus can put pressure on the pelvic veins, and hormonal changes can weaken vein walls. Another cause is obesity because extra weight increases pressure in the lower rectum.
Low-Fiber Diet is another cause. Insufficient fiber leads to hard stools, causing straining during bowel movements. Finally, aging as a consequence of the fact that the tissues supporting the veins in the rectum and anus weaken to cause hemorrhoids.
