Five Treatments For Internal Hemorrhoids

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 - Rubber band ligation has been used for hundreds of years in one form or another. With rubber band ligation a small rubber band is place around the bottom of the hemorrhoid which hopefully cuts off the blood flow leading to the hemorrhoid shriveling up and falling off.

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 - 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 - With the laser coagulation a small dose of electric current is directed towards the hemorrhoids which leads to a chemical reaction that closes the blood supply off to the hemorrhoid which in turn causes the hemorrhoid to shrink and fall off.

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

The medical procedures listed above for hemorrhoid treatments all work by basically cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid which will hopefully result in the hemorrhoid eventually falling off. The success rate of the the before mentioned hemorrhoid treatments will vary depending on the experience of the doctor and the exact location of the hemorrhoid.

Undergoing any of the before mentioned hemorrhoid treatments is not a pleasant experience so make sure that you have explored all other options beforehand . A product that needs to be considered is known as the Hemorrhoid miracle which comes with a full money back guarantee if it is not able to provide relief and cure you of your hemorrhoids. - 33375
