Why do Hemorrhoids itch more at night?

 

Hemorrhoids or piles are the swollen veins that occur in and around the anal region. Hemorrhoids are typically caused due to constipation which in turn causes strain while passing motion, bad choice of foods that are heavily skewed towards carbs and a sedentary lifestyle. Hemorrhoids can be painful, uncomfortable, and itchy. Although most people may experience itchiness during the day, it is more prominent during the night. 

Inflammation resulting in excess mucus discharge is the main cause of itching in hemorrhoids. The itching happens only when the mucus comes in contact with the normal skin. In internal hemorrhoids, the body produces excess mucus which exits through the hemorrhoid to cause skin irritation and itchiness. During the day the itching is not much experienced because people are often distracted with their daily activities. During the night, however, the itching is more prominent because of our heightened senses due to the lack of any external distractions. One more reason is during the daytime, people are moving around which might bring about aeration to the anal region with piles. Since we do not move around and are confined to the bed in the night, the itchiness may be felt more. Whenever people have constipation, mucus discharge is mainly responsible for itchiness. Most time, this is mistaken for the presence of worms, particularly in children. So if there is itchiness in adults, it can be due to constipation and the presence of piles too. In children, however, the itchiness is mostly due to constipation and sometimes due to the presence of worms.
