Could be: Hemorrhoids can be normal in adults, especially if you strain a lot with bowel movements, sit a lot or with pregnancy. Maintaining good bowel habits that encourage soft stools will help. You want to maintain good hydration and use stool softeners as needed. Increasing fiber in your diet can help as well.

Sure.: Hemorrhoids can occur actually at any age; older people seem to be more troubled than younger adults. There can be multiple causes for this. Constipation, prolonged or undo straining on the toilet, obesity, increased abdominal pressure such as pregnancy, chronic diarrhea, and anal intercourse. So to prevent this bulging & painful swelling of the veins of the anus avoid these causes listed above.
