An enlargement of the veins around the anus. It is very common to experience hemorrhoids or worsening of hemorrhoids during pregnancy due to increased blood flow to the uterus and slowed venous drainage from the pelvic region due to the enlarging uterus. Treatment includes stool softeners (to avoid constipation which can be especially painful), warm baths, ice packs, and suppositories.
