Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
The most important reason is constipation as straining at passing stool while constipated causes the veins in anal canal to enlarge and pushed outward to transform them into hemorrhoids.
IBS can present as constipation too.
Hence IBS can be the primary cause.
There are also contributory factors like stress, anxiety, food habits, work culture and so on.
