I want to know if people who have varicose veins could also have the chance to develop hemorrhoids. I read that hemorrhoids are varicose veis on the anus. What differenciates them with the ones that develope on legs, wchich I have for a long time.
The varicose veins in your legs are the result of hydrostatic pressure and an inefficient valve system between the two systems that drain blood from your legs (there is a "surface" system and a more profound one, when the valves between there 2 systems stop working, blood isn`t drained completely in the "deeper" system, so it increases the pressure in the surface one, the result being the dilatation of vessels.
The hemorrhoids are also dilated veins, caused mostly by the high pressure of the blood in them, the only problem is that that area is the place of some anasthomosys between blood vessels in your body, this meaning that hemorrhoids can be caused by a systemic disorder (cirrhosis produces varicose veins in the esophagus and a hemorrhoids) . In conclusion there is no big difference as they are both produced by an increased pressure in the venous system in that area.

The biggest difference is the one you already know: location.
If you strain at the commode, you risk developing hemorrhoids because the pressure causes blood to build up in the delicate vessels in that area and the walls may give way, causing a ballooning effect. There are valves in the vessels to keep the blood from backing up, but if the vessel balloons, the valves will be spread apart and don’t work any more.
Varicose veins may be unsightly, but unless they are causing pain they are mostly just a cosmetic issue.
Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are in a location where it is difficult to keep them clean. Thus they tend to itch, sting or otherwise make themselves known.
There are a number of remedies but the best solution is to eliminate them all together. This is relatively painless, fast, and you heal fast.
To prevent them, if the quality of your stool is not such that it is soft, formed and easy to pass, take something like miralax (the generic prescription one is actually cheaper than the over the counter one). If you don’t strain, you don’t put unfair strain on those vessels.
