What is the cause for the hemorrhoids occurrence during and after pregnancy?
The major causes for the development of hemorrhoids during pregnancy are: • the pressure from the baby-under this pressure the anal veins become engorged; • hormonal changes during the pregnancy-the increased levels of progesterone hormone make your gastrointestinal tract sluggish. Because of this slow gastrointestinal motion your intestines absorb more heavily the water from the waste and your stools become harder. You become constipated. • Reduced physical activity during the pregnancy helps to perpetuate the development of constipation. The delivery removes the main cause to develop hemorrhoids: the pressure from the baby. This new situation, together with the gradual normalization of the hormonal balance in your body, increases chance your hemorrhoids to disappear.
