How Do We Compare?
Ultroid Electrocoagulation
This is perhaps the best non-surgical treatment method available. Similar to infrared coagulation, the procedure is virtually painless, performed without the need for anesthesia, and there have never been any serious complications reported. Unlike infrared coagulation, though, Ultroid is effective for all grades of hemorrhoids. Based on its effectiveness and safety profile, it is preferable to rubber band ligation for later stage disease. For early stage disease, infrared coagulation is still preferred by most patients as the required treatment time is significantly shorter.
