What is causes of hemroids? Several things can cause hemroids, but the biggest culprit is constipation. Straining to pass hard stools puts too much pressure on the rectum and makes the veins swell (like varicose veins behind the knees). Basically, anything that causes strain or trauma to the anal canal can cause hemroids.

Hemroids are caused by increased pressure in the veins of the anus. The upright posture of humans forces a great deal of pressure on the rectal veins, which sometimes causes them to bulge. Sitting in one place and straining while moving bowels (from constipation or hard stools) causes hemroids. Excessive rubbing, or cleaning around the anus, diarrhea, sitting on the toilet too long, severe coughing, child birth, lifting heavy objects, anal infection causes hemroids.
