Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids are caused by constipation, genetics, lifting weights, ect.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

Hemorrhoids are mostly related with genetics and a certain tendency for some people to develop them. Together with factors like chronic constipation, cough, working with weight lifting, ect, they may form and become worse with the time.

So it is normal that in your anus is very hard because the hemorrhoid blocks the entrance. It is normal also for the weed to make them worse.

I cannot tell much about your legs because they need to be examined and check for hemorrhoids, or other possible problems to understand why do you have the weakness.

Hope this is helpful and answers your questions.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
