Hemorrhoids are arterial cushions lining the anal canal. They are part of our normal anatomy and play an essential role in preventing involuntary stool loss and cushioning the anus against trauma. Enlarged hemorrhoids prolapse down into the anal canal and can bleed, contributing to anal leakage and making the skin damp, itchy, and irritated.
Hemorrhoids can be caused by various factors, mainly related to increased pressure on the vessels in the pelvic and rectal regions. The people most likely to develop hemorrhoids are those who undergo increased strain, for example, in cases of chronic constipation, pregnancy and childbirth, chronic coughing, poor hygiene habits or frequent and prolonged diarrhea.
Increased pressure during these activities can lead to enlargement and inflammation of hemorrhoids arteries. Although anyone can develop hemorrhoids, they are more frequently seen in adults, particularly pregnant women and people over 50.
