NO: Hemorrhoids are due for the most part to STRAINING at stool (CONSTIPATION) A common cause of benign constipation is IBS (IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME) NOT RELATED or to be confused with INFLAMMATORY bowel conditions such as Crohn's Disease ot Ulcerative Colitis!! Hope this helps! Dr Z

No, ...: No, there is no connection between both. Hemorrhoids are varicose veins of anal canal resulting from defected venous valves like those in varicose veins of the legs, and IBD is one of autoimmune disease maybe against any part of bowels, but chiefly in terminal ileum, known as Crohn's disease or large intestine as ulcerative colitis. So, they are not connected.

No: Hemorrhoids are extremely common and are not necessarily a marker for IBD. Patients with Crohn's disease can develop large external hemorrhoids that can be very painful, but they almost always have other dramatic symptoms.
