Q: can vaginal intercourse make my internal hemorrhoids worsen? i have this problem for six months, but am going to get married. though now i am feeling better, i am still afraid of having sex?

: Although vaginal intercourse can affect the anal area and probably cause engorgement of external hemorrhoids, I'm not sure if internal hemorrhoids would be similarly affected. Since this issue is important for your reassurance, I recommend consulting a proctologist who can examine you and advise you.
