The Five Most Common Used Hemorrhoid Treatments

By Terry Rusty

Internal hemorrhoids are difficult to treat just due to their location. Over the last few decades doctors and surgeons have developed a number of ways to treat internal hemorrhoids. The main problem with these medical procedures is that they are both invasive and costly. Lets take a look at the top five most common medical procedures used to treat internal hemorrhoids.

1. Rubber Band Ligation - The rubber band ligation involves placing a small rubber band at the base of the internal hemorrhoid which cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrivel up and fall off in about four to seven days.

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 is a procedure where the doctor shines a infrared light on the swollen veins that lead to the hemorrhoid. The infrared light causes the blood to clot in the area leading to the hemorrhoid which will cut off the blood supply leading to the death of the hemorrhoid.

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 - Hemorrhoidectomy is basically the surgical removal of the hemorrhoid. This procedure should be considered to be the last resort.

All of the above methods work by cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid which will than lead to the hemorrhoid shrinking and hopefully disappearing. The degree of success varies on a number of different factors from the experience of the medical staff to the location of the hemorrhoid.

All options need to be considered before undergoing any of the above hemorrhoid treatments as they are not what most people would call a pleasant experience.
