What Causes Hemorrhoids?
9. Anal Intercourse
Anal intercourse can cause a lot of friction in the anus and rectum, and pressure can be applied on the veins there. The act will sometimes cause the veins to start bleeding, while the pressure will also sometimes cause the veins to become bulged. This means people who take part in the act are more likely to develop hemorrhoids.
People who already have hemorrhoids are less likely to want to take part in anal intercourse because it will probably be very painful. If you do wish to take part then using plenty of lubrication may help to prevent hemorrhoids and other potential complications.
