Hemorrhoids cause lower back pain in people who have them.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Hemorrhoids cause lower back pain in people who have them?

Unclear. Several sources list the symptoms and complications of hemorrhoids (bleeding, pain, itching, prolapse) without including lower back pain, and one review lists hemorrhoids among biological factors in low back pain without establishing that hemorrhoids cause it. No retrieved source directly tests or confirms that hemorrhoids cause lower back pain.
