Although not often discussed, hemorrhoids are very common in both men and women with approximately half of the U.S. population experiencing hemorrhoids by age 50. This statistic is provided by the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hemorrhoids are also common among pregnant women due to the pressure of the fetus on the abdomen before and during childbirth, as well as hormonal changes.
