Main Reasons for Hemorrhoids
Persistent constipation: Straining excessively during bowel movements puts pressure on the veins in the anus.
Lack of dietary fiber: A decrease in fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens in the diet can cause the stool to thicken and cause constipation.
Prolonged sitting: Sitting in one position for a long time can cause increased blood flow to the anus and thicken the veins.
Drinking less water: If there is not enough water in the body, the stool becomes thick and leads to hemorrhoids.
Pregnancy: The weight of the uterus puts pressure on the veins in the anus and can cause hemorrhoids in pregnant women.
Overweight: As weight increases, pressure increases on the veins in the abdomen and anus.
Strenuous exercise: Lifting heavy objects puts stress on the body.
