the short answer is: no. epidural anesthesia is used in a variety of situations. it is performed by infusing numbing medicine very close to the spinal nerve roots which makes them temporarily unable to transmit pain signals to the brain. the effect on the patient is the "blocked" area of the body losing all sensation. epidural anesthesia is most notably used in childbirth but it's also used to numb the lower abdomen or legs for surgery. once i watched a knee replacement surgery performed on a patient who was wide awake but had epidural anesthesia that made him unable to feel his leg. pretty cool! but to your question. there's no evidence epidural anesthesia would cause hemorrhoids or make them worse. hemorrhoids usually take quite some time to develop and are a result of straining too hard to have bowel movements. wishing you well!
can epidural cause hemorrhoids
