Main causes of hemorrhoids
Chronic Constipation: Sitting for a long time without defecating puts excessive pressure on the nerves in the anus. This is the most important cause.
Excessive Straining: Excessive force applied to the muscles in the anus during defecation causes the blood vessels to swell.
Lifestyle:
Working in a chair for a long time.
Lack of exercise.
Dietary habits: Low fiber in the diet and drinking less water cause constipation, which worsens hemorrhoids.
Pregnancy: Hemorrhoids are common in women due to the pressure exerted by the uterus on the blood vessels in the abdomen during pregnancy.
Obesity: Excess weight puts more pressure on the blood vessels in the anus.
Genetics: If someone in your family has this condition, you are more likely to develop it.
Age: As you age, the muscles in your anus become weaker, increasing your risk of developing hemorrhoids.
