Hemorrhoids During Pregnancy

Why do they happen?

Pressure: As the uterus and blood volume expand, our veins down there can expand too.

Constipation: Pregnancy hormones slow bowel movements, and constipation can exacerbate hemorrhoids.

Prenatal Vitamins: Synthetic iron in prenatals may contribute to constipation.

Increased Blood Flow: Elevated blood flow heightens the risk of vein inflammation.
