Women usually get them when they are pregnant because of constipation. Too much straining. That is why it is important to eat lots of fiber every day. Even when not pregnant!

Men also get hemorrhoids. In the case of women, especially when they are pregnant, some women suffer from constipation which leads to straining more on the toilet seat. If this is continued for long, there is a greater possibility of developing hemorrhoids. This is my understanding. It is always better to get your doubt checked with a doctor than go by what people say.

Just because of heavy pregnant uterus, there is pressure over blood vessels in abdomen carrying blood to heart from lower part of body. This leads to engorgement of blood vessels near anal opening. Because blood from that site is not easily carried out to heart due to pressure effect on vessles. It is common in male too.
