Why do hemorrhoids occur?
The main causes of hemorrhoids may be frequent constipation due to poor diet, low in dietary fiber, or an inactive lifestyle, inflammatory diseases, tumors in the pelvic area, and excessive physical activity. Pregnancy can also cause hemorrhoids, as it is often complicated by constipation. Hereditary factors may play an important role in the occurrence of the disease.
All of the above reasons lead to disruption of the normal functioning of the vessels of the lower large intestine. There is excess blood flow to it and venous stagnation.
