When problem of hemorrhoids aggravates to the level of surgery, there are many alternatives to be contemplated upon.
Internal hemorrhoids can be treated by banding. This is normally done by placing a tight rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid. This acts as a medicated cushion and provides immediate relief. This procedure is usually not painful. This may be done at more than one setting and anesthesia is not usually required.
Other procedures can be done under local or general anesthesia.
Large external or internal hemorrhoids are best treated surgically. The veins are cut out surgically. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures (stitches) that will disappear on their own.
Some hemorrhoids can be injected with a special material that causes them to shrink and stop bleeding.
Hemorrhoids can also be coagulated or burned with special instruments. Unfortunately, none of these methods guarantees that the hemorrhoids will not return. This is why it is very important to change your eating and bowel habits to prevent these symptoms from happening again.
