Not necessarily, can also be hemorrhoids from too much sitting and a bad diet.
But you (and I) should definitely see a doctor.

What causes hemorrhoids?
Pressure building up in your lower rectum can affect blood flow and make the veins there swell.
That may happen because of:

  • Pushing when you poop
  • Straining when you do something that's physically hard, like lifting something heavy
  • Extra weight, like obesity
  • Pregnancy, when your growing uterus presses on your veins
  • A diet low in fiber
  • Anal

Risk Factors:

  • Too much sitting
  • Age
  • Pregnancy
  • Genetics
  • source
  • parent
