    This document discusses the pathophysiology of hemorrhoids. Predisposing factors include age over 30, pregnancy, heavy lifting, and constipation. Precipitating factors are straining during defecation, which increases pressure in the rectal veins and causes shearing of the mucosa. This leads to sliding of anal canal structures and swelling/inflammation of distended veins, resulting in hemorrhoids.
