1 Causes of postpartum hemorrhoids

There are several main reasons that can cause hemorrhoids after childbirth, as well as hemorrhoids during gestation. The most important reason for the development of this disease( and not only in pregnant women) is a sedentary lifestyle. If a person moves little, is constantly in a sitting position, then in the small pelvis stagnation of blood occurs, and the venous vessels overflow.

Another important reason for the development of hemorrhoids during child bearing is excess body weight, the growing uterus can squeeze venous vessels. A hereditary factor plays a large role.

During childbirth, there is also a risk of hemorrhoids. At this time, intra-abdominal pressure rises, and blood rushes to the rectum. The veins overflow and swell, forming nodes. If the nodes were formed during pregnancy, they increase and drop out during childbirth, causing additional suffering to the woman.

Another factor affecting the formation of hemorrhoids is the presence of constipation in the parturient woman. Especially after the born childbirth, the young mother is afraid of the act of defecation, and this also contributes to constipation. Therefore, every 7 woman, who has suffered childbirth, suffers from hemorrhoids.
