The subject of hemorrhoids is not very pleasant, but a surprising number of people suffer from them. Hemorrhoids are abnormally swollen veins in the rectum and anus. When bulging hemorrhoid veins are irritated, they cause surrounding membranes to swell, burn, itch, become very painful, and bleed. Hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure in the rectum, forcing blood to stretch and bulge the walls of the veins, sometimes rupturing them. Could your job be causing hemorrhoids by long periods of sitting, prolonged standing or lifting? How can you avoid sitting all day if you have a seated job?
