The Five Most Common Used Hemorrhoid Treatments

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 - 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 - A special chemical solution is injected into the mucous membrane surrounding the hemorrhoid during the injection sclerotherapy which will close off the veins leading into the hemorrhoid which will hopefully cause the hemorrhoid to shrivel up and fall off.

3. Infrared Photocoagulation - This medical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids involves using a infrared light to clot the veins surrounding the hemorrhoid which will hopefully cut off the blood supply which in turn leads to the hemorrhoid shrinking and falling off.

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 above listed hemorrhoid treatments all tend to work off the notion that once the blood supply is cut off to the hemorrhoid than the problem is basically solved. However the degree of success to these procedures will vary from doctor to doctor and to the location of the hemorrhoid.

Before undergoing any medical procedure for hemorrhoid treatments make sure that you have looked at all other viable options. One of the alternative medical approaches to hemorrhoids is the Hemorrhoid Miracle product which has helped people all over the world get immediate relief and cure their hemorrhoids in a matter of days without the pain and cost of surgery.
