Is red wine bad for your hemorrhoids?

Red wine does not cause hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. They are caused by increased pressure on the veins in the rectum, which can be due to a number of factors, including constipation, obesity, pregnancy, and aging. Red wine may worsen the symptoms of hemorrhoids, as it can cause constipation and dehydration, both of which can increase the pressure on the veins in the rectum.
