Pregnancy, constipation, diarrhea, and frequent heavy lifting may lead to hemorrhoids. Swollen blood vessels in the rectum and anus are often caused by an increase in pressure in that area of the body. Hemorrhoids are most common during pregnancy and after giving birth, and mainly affect those between the ages of 45 and 65 years. While hemorrhoids rarely result in serious health problems, they can cause itching, pain, or bleeding after a bowel movement. Sometimes, hemorrhoids can protrude out of the anus, in which case you may be able to see or feel them. Hemorrhoids are cushions of tissue containing swollen blood vessels located in the wall of the lower rectum and anus.
