Hemorrhoid Treatment

We fix hemorrhoids one of two ways, depending on the severity of the problem

Laser Surgery

Effective for large hemorrhoids, this state-of- the-art laser technique gives us the ability to “vaporize” the hemorrhoid. This laser technique is more beneficial than a conventional surgery due to the fact that there is:

  • A minimal 3-5 days of down-time
  • The surrounding tissue is left unharmed
  • It significantly reduces potential bleeding, swelling, and scarring
  • A significantly reduced cost

As a result less than 1 in 200 patients have a recurrence of symptoms.

Infrared Coagulator (IRC)

  • Effective for small hemorrhoids
  • No Down-time
  • No Anesthesia
  • Immediate relief from pain, discomfort, itching
  • Potential bleeding, swelling, and scarring are significantly reduced
  • Return to work the same day!

  • What are Hemorrhoids

    A precise definition of hemorrhoids does not exist, but they can be described as “cushions” of tissue within the anal canal that contain blood vessels and their surrounding, supporting tissue is made up of muscle and elastic fibers. The anal canal is the last four centimeters through which stool passes as it exits the body. Although most people think hemorrhoids are abnormal, they are present in everyone. It is only when the hemorrhoidal cushions enlarge that hemorrhoids can cause problems and be considered abnormal or a disease.
