Is hemorroids the same as herpes??? Is it sexually transmitted?

Is hemorroids the same as herpes??? Is it sexually transmitted?I just asked a question about this thing on my bunghole and everyone said I have hemorroids!!! Is that sexually transmitted? If so, then the only way I'd get it is my boyfriend cheated on me. Oooh I rip him a new one if he did that! W

No, a hemorroid is not an STD, so he didn't give it to you

No, hemorrhoids are caused by inflammation of rectal tissue. It has nothing to do with your bf unless you're giving up the pooper for sex.

No, they're not sexually transmitted.

There are various causes, hypertension, straining, obesity, pregnancy...The list goes on...

no. hemorrhoids are not the same as herpes, nor are they sexually transmitted.

They're swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and are not sexually transmitted. They are often hereditary, common and usually easy to treat. Read about them here--http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemorrhoids/DS00096
