No one is immune to hemorrhoids. The causes of increased pressure include straining during bowel movements and often hemorrhoids are attributed to repetitive heavy lifting and straining during lifting.

Hemorrhoids are an extremely common problem, especially in western countries, where surveys suggest that as much as half of the population over 40 years of age may suffer some form of mild to severe discomfort from them. Practicing better posture whether at home or at work can help prevent hemorrhoids.
