Could i have gotten hemorrhoids from giving birth vaginally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indirectly: Pregnancy itself causes pelvic pressure & can cause women to get hemorrhoids. A vaginal delivery itself could aggravate the hemorrhoid veins that are already present, but not likely to have caused them to form in the first place.
