Maternal hemorrhoidal incarceration is one of the obstetric emergencies. This is because after pregnancy, as the uterus grows, abdominal pressure increases, especially in the late pregnancy, the inferior vena cava becomes congested and dilated, and especially during delivery, uterine contractions gradually strengthen, and hemorrhoids are very likely to become incarcerated if the mother holds her breath and pushes.

The protruding inner core also stimulates the peripheral nerves around the anus, causing swelling and pain. In severe cases, ischemic necrosis may occur.
