@wsx, I'm bringing in fellow members @merwether @dave1957 @ozelli who also experienced hemorrhoids as a result of radiation. You may also be interested in this related discussion:

I had problems with hemorrhoids several years ago but rarely experienced issues in recent years (perhaps because of dietary changes ). Before I sought proton treatment for prostate cancer early this year I asked if radiation might aggravate the problem again. Fortunately, I have not experienced any issues since treatment ended nearly three months ago.
