Hemorrhoids and Occupations
Are hemorrhoids and occupations directly linked is the question. Well the simple answer is NO, they are not linked in any way. The reason is that the source of the problem that causes hemorrhoids is not any type of work.
Hence work is not related to hemorrhoids.
However if you have already got a case of hemorrhoids, then certain types of occupations like sitting for prolonged periods or standing for prolonged periods can deteriorate your hemorrhoids further to the next stage.
The solution if you do have hemorrhoids and fall in the above category with your job, is simply try to sit or stand whatever the case is, every twenty minutes for about five minutes.

This will help in not deteriorating further.
The more complexed answer to the question are hemorrhoids directly linked to occupations is yes, but only in very rare circumstances.
Certain Jobs like truck driving can really cause the hemorrhoids. In some people only sitting all day with no regular breaks can weaken the veins in the anus area, thus causing hemorrhoids.
A heart surgeon can cause hemorrhoids. In some people standing for many hours with no regular breaks can weaken the veins in the anus area, thus causing hemorrhoids.
But I will repeat that this happens only in very rare circumstances, so really work is not directly linked to hemorrhoids.
