Patients suffering from hemorrhoids often ask me, “My father is also a hemorrhoid patient, is this genetic?” Others say, “All five members of our family have hemorrhoids, is it because of heredity? Some scholars believe that the occurrence of hemorrhoids is related to the congenital weakness of the vein wall, which cannot tolerate the pressure in the blood vessels and easily expands and stagnates, so there is a certain heredity, but no one has done a systematic physiopathological study on this, and no definite conclusion has been reached so far, and because the proportion of people with hemorrhoids in the total population is large, the hemorrhoid patients have relatives who have hemorrhoids, or The fact that some or even all of them have hemorrhoids is not proof that hemorrhoids are hereditary. We believe that the influence of family environment, diet and lifestyle habits may be the main reason why multiple members of a family develop hemorrhoids at the same time. If your family lives in a humid, hot place, and all like to drink alcohol, eat chili peppers, and have constipation, then your family is certainly more likely to develop hemorrhoids than other families.
