No: Hemorrhoids are varicose veins developing in the venuos outflow of the anal canal. They occur just within the sphincter as internal hemorrhoids and outside as exeternal lesion. They are not caused or associated with colonoscopy.

Use sitz bath 3/day: Colonoscopy does not cause hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are varicose veins of the anal canal that measures 4 cm. There are people who are more prone to get it like varicose veins of the legs. Use the tucks (witch hazel) to wipe out withthem, then use sitz bath 3 times/day, and i like anusol or proctosol with 2.5% hc, if you continue to have problem see a colorectal or general surgeon.
