There are many theories as to why Hemorrhoids occur. As already
stated, pregnant women often suffer from them as the weight of
the unborn baby presses on the lower bowels and often causes
straining during toilet visits. For the expectant mother this
can be just one more indignity along the path of pregnancy.
Straining is a major cause and this is often due to a low fibre
diet. The increased pressure caused by straining results in
engorgement of the hemorrhoids, perhaps by cutting off the
venous return of the blood. People who suffer with constipation
also often report hemorrhoids as a complication, but those with
very loose bowel movements can also suffer or exacerbate a
hemorrhoidal condition.
Prolonged sitting on the toilet, especially amongst those who
enjoy a read on the throne can contribute to the condition by a
kind of tourniquet effect as the blood circulation is restricted
by the weight of the body on the buttocks.
Ageing is another possibility with people in their twenties
complaining of the condition. Stress and anxiety can interfere
with normal digestion and in turn cause hemorrhoids. The author
was 33 when the tragic death of his niece came just days before
the first onset of the condition. Since then he has managed the
condition with diet and common sense.
Most people will suffer when in their forties and fifties and
onwards. As we all age we suffer a weakening of our muscular
support structures which make sit easier for hemorrhoids to
prolapse, or fall down and out of the anus.
