What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus, similar to varicose veins. They can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).

Often caused by increased pressure due to pregnancy, straining during bowel movements, and prolonged sitting, hemorrhoids can lead to discomfort, itching, pain, and bleeding. Some people may not experience symptoms, and the presence of hemorrhoids is only noticed during a medical examination. Factors like diet, bowel habits, and increased pressure on the lower rectum can affect the likelihood of developing hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid Treatment

Treatment for hemorrhoids varies depending on the type and severity. Mild cases often respond well to over-the-counter treatments, like creams and suppositories, and home remedies such as:

Increase Fluids & Fiber Intake

Taking Warm Baths

However, bleeding internal hemorrhoids may require medical intervention if they are severely prolapsed or do not resolve on their own.

For more persistent or severe hemorrhoids, medical treatments are available. Hemorrhoids treatment options include minimally invasive procedures that are less painful and promote quicker recovery than traditional methods. These treatments include:

Infrared Coagulation (IRC)

Rubber Band Ligation

Sclerotherapy

Surgery (For Advanced Cases)

Each treatment option varies in its approach, recovery time, and effectiveness. A healthcare professional can recommend the most appropriate method based on the individual’s condition.

FAQ's

How long does a band ligation procedure last?

You can expect the procedure to last as long or as little as 15 minutes.

Does band ligation hurt?

Band ligation for hemorrhoids is generally not considered a painful procedure. Most patients report only mild discomfort.

Will I be sedated for the band ligation procedure?

Sedation is not commonly required for hemorrhoid band ligation. The procedure is minimally invasive and is typically performed in a doctor's office or an outpatient setting.

How should I prepare for the band ligation procedure?

Preparation is not typically required for this procedure. However, your doctor may offer a few suggestions based on any preexisting conditions you may have, such as avoiding blood-thinning medicines.

Should a friend accompany me for the band ligation procedure?

You're not required to have someone present to drive you home after a band ligation procedure since you won't be sedated. However, having a friend or family member with you can provide emotional support, especially if you're anxious about the procedure.
