Treatment of hemorrhoids is at different levels .treatment depends on varied factors like the intensity of the complication and also the place where the hemorrhoids is. If the pain is very nominal you can treat it with over the counter medications, ointments or pads containing some kind of anti inflammatory agent along with daily warm baths. But if the pain is too much of a problem and you are not being able to treat it with off the counter medications you might need to see a doctor and might even need a surgery. If there is a blood clot in an external hemorrhoid it can easily be removed with a simple incision which provides for instant relief.
Surgical or other procedures
If a blood clot has formed within an external hemorrhoid, your doctor can easily remove the clot with a simple incision, which may provide prompt relief.
Banding hemorrhoids:
In this method the doctor places one or two rubber bands along the base of the internal hemorrhoid in order to cut off the circulation. As a result sooner or later hemorrhoids fall off. This simple procedure — called rubber band ligation — is done in the doctor's office and is effective for many people.
Sclerotherapy: In this method a chemical solution is injected into the blood vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid so that it can easily be removed after that.
Infrared light: Here the doctor uses a 1- or 2-second burst of infrared light which cuts off circulation to small, bleeding, internal hemorrhoids.
Surgery: Another most critical cases when you have very large hemorrhoids you might need to have a surgery where the doctor removes the whole tissue in a process called
Hemorrhoidectomy. Normal this surgery is done using local anesthetic combined with sedation, a spinal anesthetic, or general anesthetic. It's normally requires an outpatient or overnight hospital stay. Although the surgery might be painful it is the most comprehensive method and medicines might be used to decrease the pain. |
