Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

Answer 4

You should see a doctor. Some hemmorhoids (depending on severity) can require surgery to fix them. OTCs dont work that well, and your doctor will be able to prescribe medications that will work much better.
There's no reason to suffer with them if it can be fixed.
