Five Treatments For Internal Hemorrhoids

By Terry Rusty

Due to the location internal hemorrhoids are notoriously hard to treat. In the last few decades a number of new surgical approaches have been used for hemorrhoids treatments. The main problem with the following medical procedures is that they are both invasive and not easy on the pocket book. Through out this article we will look at the five most common surgical approaches to hemorrhoid treatments.

1. Rubber Band Ligation - Rubber band ligation has been used for hundreds of years in one form or another. With rubber band ligation a small rubber band is place around the bottom of the hemorrhoid which hopefully cuts off the blood flow leading to the hemorrhoid shriveling up and falling off.

2. Injection Sclerotherapy - Injection Sclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical solution into the mucous membrane around the hemorrhoid and this chemical causes inflammation and closure of the veins which leads to the shrinking of the hemorrhoid.

3. Infrared Photocoagulation - Infrared Photocoagulation involves directing an infrared light to coagulate (clot) the dilated veins of the hemorrhoid which closes off the blood supply and hopefully leads to the hemorrhoids shrinking and disappearing.

4. Laser Coagulation - Laser Coagulation is a rather new procedure which involves the application of an electric current to the hemorrhoids. The electric current triggers a chemical reaction that shuts down the blood supply in the hemorrhoid and causes the inflamed tissue to shrink.

5. Hemorrhoidectomy - This procedure involves surgically removing the hemorrhoid groups in the anal canal, and is performed with a scalpel, cautery device or laser.

The medical procedures listed above for hemorrhoid treatments all work by basically cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid which will hopefully result in the hemorrhoid eventually falling off. The success rate of the the before mentioned hemorrhoid treatments will vary depending on the experience of the doctor and the exact location of the hemorrhoid.

Undergoing any of the before mentioned hemorrhoid treatments is not a pleasant experience so make sure that you have explored all other options beforehand . A product that needs to be considered is known as the Hemorrhoid miracle which comes with a full money back guarantee if it is not able to provide relief and cure you of your hemorrhoids.
