Can an excessive amount of hiking cause hemorrhoids?
I do a lot of hiking. About 200 miles of hiking this year, and that's reduced from previous years.
And now I have developed one large, painful hemorrhoid. Should I stop hiking to prevent it getting worse? Could it be that hiking is what caused it
What can I do to treat it short term? I don't want to go to the doctor with it.

this is what doctors and professional medical services are for. as embarrassing, costly or awkward as it may be. you need a doctor to take care of things like this.
in the future maybe some kind of jock itch spray / monkey butt powder can help control irritation in this area.
a doctor can tell you how to control and avoid this

You're shitting too hard/not getting enough fiber. Get some preparation H. If it's that bad, go to your fucking doctor.

It could be that you aren't drinking enough water. You get back dehydrated and when shitting sit there on the toilet pushing out the dry poops. That could cause hemorrhoids.
