Pregnancy makes a woman more prone to have hemorrhoids. It occur when prolonged pressure is put on the epidural veins at the base of the spine, forcing the blood return from the legs and pelvis to use the veins in the anal and rectal areas. This increased blood pressure causes the veins to swell and makes them highly prone to becoming hemorrhoids.
