What Causes Hemorrhoids?
3. Obesity
Obesity is perhaps the most common cause of hemorrhoids, and they are a common complaint in people who are overweight. The patient’s excess body weight and mass will put extra pressure on the blood vessels in the lower rectum and around the anus. This, in turn, can result in the bulging of the veins that can result in hemorrhoids.
It is not only the additional pressure in obese people that make them more prone to hemorrhoids. They are also more prone because hemorrhoids can also be caused by the same things that caused the patient to become obese in the first place.
