Getting hemorrhoids during pregnancy is not uncommon, and many women suffer the discomfort and irritation associated with such conditions.
Not only is the female body changing in shape to accommodate the baby as the fetus is growing daily, but hormone levels also become variable.
It is mainly the growth of the fetus, which causes hemorrhoids during pregnancy as, as it grows, it exerts pressure on the colon and rectum. Pressure on the colon restricts blood from the veins leading to varicosis, which weakens the rectal vein walls and swelling of veins and, consequently, hemorrhoids.
Increases in the hormone progesterone and an increase in blood flows during pregnancy can also contribute to the development of hemorrhoids, as this relaxes the walls of veins, making them more prone to swelling.
Pregnant women can take certain steps to reduce the chances of having hemorrhoids, and these include:
