Ultrasound
This procedure is done on an
outpatient basis and can be done fairly quickly, sometimes in as little as 20
minutes. Most people are back at work within 48 hours. After the procedure, a
lot of people feel like they need to have a bowel moment, but this symptom goes
away over the next two days. There is a minimum of post-operative bleeding and
in some cases no bleeding. This procedure also results in a minimum of long
term side effect associated with hemorrhoidectomies such as infection,
fissures, incontinence and anal bleeding.
Surgery
Doppler-guided, transanalhemorrhoidal dearterialization is a minimally invasive treatment using an
ultrasound doppler to accurately locate the arterial blood inflow. These
arteries are then "tied off" and the prolapsed tissue is sutured back
to its normal position. It has a slightly higher recurrence rate, but fewer
complications compared to a hemorrhoidectomy.
Banding or Rubber Ligation
Banding is an office procedure
used to treat internal hemorrhoids. Also called rubber band ligation, this
procedure involves using a tight band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut
off its blood supply. This usually requires two or more procedures that take place
about two months apart. It is not painful, but you may feel pressure or mild
discomfort. This is not recommended for those taking blood thinners because of
the high risk of bleeding complications.
Coagulation Therapy
Coagulation therapy is also
called infrared photocoagulation. This treatment uses infrared light, heat, or
extreme cold to make the hemorrhoid retract and shrink. It is another type of
procedure that it is done at your doctor’s office, and it is usually performed along
with an anoscopy.
Anoscopy is a visualization
procedure in which a scope is inserted several inches into your rectum. The
scope allows the doctor to see. Most people experience only mild discomfort or
cramping during treatment.
