Prolonged Usage of Toilets
Sitting on the toilet for prolonged periods, especially without proper support and cushioning, can also cause hemorrhoids. In addition, sitting in this position for an extended period puts a strain on the rectal veins and tissues, which can eventually lead to the development of hemorrhoids.
When a person sits on the toilet for prolonged periods, they create a straining situation in their body. By straining, they exert pressure on the colon and rectum with every passing bowel movement. This pressure can cause hemorrhoids to form over time or worsen existing ones if they have already developed. About half of all people with hemorrhoids will develop them due to long periods spent sitting on the toilet. While there are many causes for hemorrhoids, this is one that many people fail to consider as a possible cause.
