Your dietary habits can contribute to hemorrhoids. A diet high in fat and low in fiber may cause constipation, which is one of the leading causes of hemorrhoids.
Although not often discussed, hemorrhoids affect up to 86% of Americans and has no age barrier.
Although not as common as occurring in adults, hemorrhoids do affect children and can be as irritating and uncomfortable for them as well.
Experts are still uncertain as to the exact cause of hemorrhoids, but one thing is for certain, hemorrhoids are more common the older we get. Still, it’s important to understand that hemorrhoids can affect both men and women (and children) of any age.
