1. What are the causes of external hemorrhoids in women?

1. In the late stages of pregnancy, the enlarged fetus presses on the rectum, which not only makes defecation difficult, but also obstructs the return of venous blood from the rectum and anus. This not only makes hemorrhoids more likely to occur, but can also further aggravate existing hemorrhoids.

2. When women reach menopause, their muscles throughout the body become loose and weak. Tissues related to anal function, such as the sphincter, levator ani muscles, puborectalis muscles, etc., also become weak, and anal function declines. At the same time, women in menopause often experience endocrine and nervous dysfunction, which makes people irritable and have a feeling of defecation but not complete defecation, resulting in frequent trips to the toilet, which is also a factor in inducing hemorrhoids.

3. Menstruation and pregnancy can increase the burden on the anus. Some women often experience difficulty and prolonged intervals between bowel movements during menstruation or pregnancy, and only have bowel movements once every 2-3 days.

4. The chance of developing the disease is higher in the puerperium. After giving birth, the abdominal cavity is empty, the urge to defecate becomes dull, and the abdominal wall relaxes, the activity decreases, the symptoms of weak and difficult defecation increase, and there are often no defecation symptoms for several days. Feces stays in the intestines for too long and becomes highly hardened. As a result, forceful defecation can damage the anus and rectum and cause hemorrhoids.
