Non-surgical Treatment

Rubber band ligation

The doctor places one or two small rubber bands around the base of a hemorrhoid to cut off the blood supply to the hemorrhoidal tissue. As a result, the hemorrhoid shrinks and falls off within a week or two.

Infrared coagulation

It uses infrared light to heat and coagulate, and shrink the hemorrhoid. Infrared coagulation is used to treat small to mid-size hemorrhoids. Most patients can resume their daily routine immediately with little to no discomfort.

Sclerotherapy

During a sclerotherapy, your doctor injects a chemical solution into the affected, swollen blood vessel to destroy the hemorrhoid tissue. Sclerotherapy causes the hemorrhoid to scar, shrink and effectively close them off. It is a minimally invasive procedure, and the injection causes little or no pain.

Surgical Treatment

Hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoidectomy is an effective procedure to treat severe and recurring hemorrhoids. Depending on the severity of the patient's condition, it is performed under local/general/spinal anaesthesia.

Hemorrhoid stapling or stapled hemorrhoidopexy

Stapled hemorrhoidopexy reduces the chances of incontinence and causes less bleeding and itching. This method usually takes around two to three weeks for the patient to recover completely.

Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD)

THD is a minimally invasive procedure to treat internal hemorrhoids. It reduces the blood supply and repositions the tissue. Using a Doppler device, hemorrhoidal arteries are located and tied off. The prolapsed tissue is then stitched back into its correct anatomical position.
