Beating hemorrhoids - the non-surgical way

Beating hemorrhoids - the non-surgical way

Hemorrhoids can be a painful story that hinders many of life's activities and pleasures. If the condition is medically advanced, a professional may need to intervene. However, the good news is that the solution doesn't always have to be surgery. There are non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment procedures to relieve the pain and also free the patient from the grip of this disease.

Injection of the vein

This is a simple procedure for injecting the swollen vein. Blood flow is usually slowed with rubber bands, allowing the collected blood and mucus to be safely released, most likely by suction. The procedure does not cause much pain and is usually used to treat grade 2 and 3 hemorrhoids.

Infrared photocoagulation

The main principle remains the same as that of the previous procedure. A laser beam or infrared photocoagulation is used to stop blood flow to a specific area. Thus, the hemorrhoid dies without blood flow and is safely removed. The disadvantage of this procedure is that if you have multiple hemorrhoids, only one can be treated at the same time. It takes about fourteen days to heal and be sure to treat or remove the next one. A disadvantage of this treatment is that the laser can damage the cells surrounding the target area, although it is considered more effective than the previous one.

These are currently the main procedures that treat this condition without the need for surgery. They are usually less painful than surgery and are also very effective. To choose between the two, one must do good research, talk to medical professionals and, if possible, people who have undergone the treatment. This helps in creating clear ideas based on facts so that the best option can be selected.

What to look for when treating non-surgical hemorrhoids

• Not all doctors know exactly what and how to handle these treatments because they are relatively new. It is important to choose a professional who is well trained and preferably experienced in these areas.

• Also consider choosing a reputed hospital. The area where the treatment is carried out is sensitive and choosing a place without adequate medical facilities may lead to unnecessary complications.

• Usually, most people suffer from a mild case of hemorrhoids, which goes away with proper care and some home remedies. You should only decide on the treatments after consulting a doctor.

• After completion of treatment, follow-up care should be religious and doctor's advice must be followed strictly. The wound is healing and this stage requires a high level of care.

For some, surgery may be a better option. Whatever it is, a medical expert can always make informed decisions about what is right. If in doubt, it is recommended to get a second opinion.
