Causes of Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids can develop in people when the veins around the anus swell and stretch. Hemorrhoids can also form in the lower rectum area due to increased pressure. Hemorrhoids are usually caused by increased pressure in the lower rectum and anus. Here are ten of the most common causes of hemorrhoids.
Sitting on the toilet for longer periods of time:
Spending a lot of time on the toilet seat to expel the faeces puts significant pressure on your rectum and the anus. As you sit longer on the toilet, your rectum will be in a lower place than the rest. Gravity takes over and blood pools, causing clotting of the veins. These blood clots, or thrombosis, are the cause of hemorrhoids that form in the lower rectum region and the anal region.
