Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus, treated with laser therapy, ligation, sclerotherapy, or surgery.

Overview



Hemorrhoids occur when veins in the rectum or anus become swollen due to increased pressure. They can be internal or external and are common in both men and women, especially after age 50. Pregnancy, chronic constipation, obesity, and prolonged sitting increase the risk. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, itching, pain, and swelling. A medical exam is essential to rule out other conditions like colorectal cancer.

Treatment options range from non-invasive procedures to surgical solutions. Laser therapy offers a minimally painful option, while rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy help shrink hemorrhoids. Severe cases may require hemorrhoidectomy or hemorrhoidopexy for long-term relief.


When is Surgery Recommended?


Hemorrhoid surgery is recommended for individuals with severe, persistent pain, bleeding, or prolapsed hemorrhoids that do not respond to lifestyle changes or medications. It is necessary when hemorrhoids cause discomfort, affect daily activities, or frequently recur.

Surgery is also required if hemorrhoids become thrombosed (blood clot forms), prolapsed (permanently protruding), or cause excessive bleeding leading to anemia. Since severe hemorrhoids often worsen over time, surgical intervention is the most effective long-term solution for symptom relief and preventing complications.


Procedure Details


There are several effective treatment options for hemorrhoids, ranging from minimally invasive procedures to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition.



Laser Therapy: We use advanced laser technology to treat hemorrhoids, offering a minimally invasive solution with reduced postoperative pain.

Rubber Band Ligation: A small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum, cutting off its blood supply. As a result, the hemorrhoid shrinks and naturally falls off within a few days.

Sclerotherapy: A chemical solution is injected into the blood vessel, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink over time.

Hemorrhoidectomy & Hemorrhoidopexy: These surgical procedures are used for more severe cases, providing long-term relief by removing or repositioning hemorrhoids to restore normal function.



Recovery


Healing after hemorrhoid treatments depends on the technique used. Most patients experience discomfort for a few days to weeks, which can be managed with pain relievers, sitz baths, and dietary adjustments. Swelling and mild bleeding may occur but gradually improve.

To promote smooth recovery, we provide personalized aftercare instructions, including proper hygiene, stool softeners to prevent straining, and activity modifications. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor healing progress and reduce the risk of recurrence. Patients are encouraged to stay hydrated and maintain a fiber-rich diet.
