Hemorrhoids affect both men and women of any age but usually chances will increase after the age of 30. Normally, blood fills the anal cushions to help control bowel movements. Hemorrhoids are caused by excessive pressure or other factors on the veins inside the hemorrhoid tissue or anal cushions causing swelling and stretching of the tissue.
Increased pressure can come from rushing to complete a bowel movement or from constipation or persistent diarrhea, if either causes too much straining during bowel movements. Being overweight also can contribute to hemorrhoid problems. Pregnant women frequently develop hemorrhoids during the last 6 months of pregnancy because of increased pressure on the blood vessels in the pelvic area.
