    Hemorrhoids are more common in people over 30, pregnant women, and heavy lifters. Constipation and straining during bowel movements can increase pressure in the rectal veins, causing the mucosa to shear and structures in the anal canal wall like veins to slide and become swollen, inflamed, and distended, leading to hemorrhoids.
