Is it common to have hemorrhoieds after giving birth? if yes. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hemorrhoids are dilated veins caused by obstruction of blood return. During pregnancy, the weight and pressure of the uterus can inhibit blood return in the pelvic veins leading to dilation of the venous plexus at the anus.
