Hemorrhoids are one of the most common forms of disease found among human population. They are caused by swollen enlarged veins in the inner side of the rectum or under the skin around the anus. There might be several reasons for the development of enlarged veins. One of the reasons being the flow of blood through the veins slowing down or due to any obstruction caused similar to the case of varicose veins in the legs. Another theory is that hemorrhoids are caused due to very high pressure in the veins which is humans tend to remain upright unlike other species.
