hemorrhoids are not caused by viruses or contaminated water. they are caused by the pressure exerted on the blood vessels around anal ring during defecation. chronic or recurrent constipation often leads to hemorrhoidal problems. while it may be a coincidence that you and your wife developed them at the same time but i am guessing that you may be of similar ages and may eat the same type of foods. <link>
what causes hemmoroids? . the situation appears to be rather strange. my wife and i developed hemmoroids at pretty much the same time. she did first then i did about a month later. we have now had them for several weeks. she has sought medical help and got advice on hemmoroidal creams. we have had our water tested several times. this seems like to great of a coincidence to be anything other than either a virus. yet i find no information pertaining to a virus that can cause hemmoroids or hemmoroid-like symtoms.
