general information
Lack of activity is the main cause of the development of the disease. The walls of the veins stretch and bulge, thereby disrupting blood circulation in the pelvis.
Stagnant processes in the rectum lead to the appearance of nodes, where the blood becomes very thick. The person begins to develop inflammation and bleeding.

The second reason for the deterioration of the veins in the pelvic area is chronic constipation.

The basic rule for quick recovery with hemorrhoids is the removal of stagnant processes, constipation.
