    Not necessarily, can also be hemorrhoids from too much sitting and a bad diet.
    But you (and I) should definitely see a doctor.

    What causes hemorrhoids?
    Pressure building up in your lower rectum can affect blood flow and make the veins there swell.
    That may happen because of:

    • Pushing when you poop
    • Straining when you do something that’s physically hard, like lifting something heavy
    • Extra weight, like obesity
    • Pregnancy, when your growing uterus presses on your veins
    • A diet low in fiber
    • Anal

    Risk Factors:

    • Too much sitting
    • Age
    • Pregnancy
    • Genetics
