Overview
We specialize in two proven approaches to the non-surgical treatment of internal hemorrhoids: infrared coagulation and Ultroid. Both of these procedures are virtually painless, as they are performed in an area of the anal canal that does not have pain-sensing nerves. Therefore, they can be performed right in the doctor’s office without the need for anesthesia. In fact, most patients leave our office and immediately continue on with their day – returning to work or catching a round of golf – with minimal disruption. In many cases, improvement in symptoms is noticed almost immediately, with continued progressive improvement with subsequent treatment sessions. A typical treatment course usually takes from 4 to 7 sessions for complete resolution of symptoms to be achieved.
In addition to performing these procedures, we always place great emphasis on educating you on how to care for your hemorrhoids at home, with the incorporation of just a few simple lifestyle changes. This is vitally important to significantly decrease your chances of symptom recurrence.
