No: Haemorrhoids can develop from straining or as a natural laxity of the tissues with aging. Anxiety plays no role except to focus your attention.

Manage anxiety : By learning relaxation skills ; learning to modify the thoughts, perceptions ; beliefs that trigger your anxiety. Learning to calm your body ; your mind is the key. You can learn these skills on your own, but having a mental health professional "coach" you is quicker ; more effective. Biofeedback helps learn relaxation skills (www.Bcia.Org ; www.Aapb.Org). Entrenched anxiety may require meds.
