It has been suggested that up to 75 percent of adults in Europe and North America will experience hemorrhoids at some point in their lives.

Hemorrhoids are most common among adults aged between 45 and 65.This does not mean, however, that young people and children do not get them. Hemorrhoids are much more common among men than women.
