What is Hemorrhoids? 

Each of us has veins within the anus that tend to stretch under pressure, somewhat like varicose veins in the legs. Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins in the anus or lower rectum. Hemorrhoids can affect men and women alike. Pregnant women often develop Hemorrhoids, because of the strain from carrying the baby and from giving birth. Men are more likely than women to suffer from Hemorrhoids that require professional medical treatment. Obesity, straining during bowel movements, sitting too long on the toilet, or standing or lifting too much can make Hemorrhoids worse. Constipation is oftentimes the main cause of Hemorrhoids.
