Hemorrhoids are a common condition that can cause significant discomfort, pain, and embarrassment. Whether you are dealing with external hemorrhoids, which develop outside the anal opening, or internal hemorrhoids, which occur inside the rectum, our experienced surgical team is here to provide compassionate care and effective treatment options. We understand the sensitive nature of this condition and are committed to helping you regain your comfort and quality of life.

Understanding Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, often resulting from increased pressure due to factors such as straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, obesity, or prolonged sitting. Symptoms may include:

• Pain or discomfort in the anal area
• Itching or irritation
• Bleeding during bowel movements
• Swelling or a lump near the anus

If conservative treatments, such as dietary changes, topical medications, or lifestyle modifications, have not provided relief, surgical intervention may be necessary.

When is Surgery Recommended?

Surgery for hemorrhoids is typically considered when:

• Symptoms are severe and persistent despite conservative treatment
• There are complications, such as thrombosed hemorrhoids (clots in external hemorrhoids)
• You experience significant bleeding or prolapse (hemorrhoids that protrude outside the anus)

Our Surgical Approach

During your initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms and medical history. Based on this assessment, we will discuss the most appropriate surgical options tailored to your needs. Our goal is to provide you with the least invasive and most effective treatment possible.

Types of Hemorrhoid Surgery

We offer several surgical procedures for hemorrhoids, including:

• Hemorrhoidectomy: This is the surgical removal of hemorrhoids and is often recommended for severe cases. It can provide long-term relief and is typically performed under anesthesia.
• Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a special stapling device to reposition and secure the hemorrhoids back into their normal position, reducing blood flow and alleviating symptoms.
• Sclerotherapy: In this procedure, a chemical solution is injected into the hemorrhoid tissue, causing it to shrink. This option is often used for smaller hemorrhoids.
• Rubber Band Ligation: This technique involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply and causing it to shrink and fall off.

Postoperative Care and Support

After your surgery, our team will provide you with detailed postoperative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include:

• Pain management strategies
• Dietary recommendations to promote regular bowel movements
• Guidelines for activity and wound care

We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns you may have.
