A member asked:
Are haemorrhoids spreadable? can they be spread to other people from the person who has them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They are due to elevated pressure in the veins of the anorectum and weakening of tissues there. It is not transmittable. Anal warts, however, which can resemble hemorrhoids are a sexually transmitted viral disease.
