ADVANCED HEMORRHOID TREATMENT
 Rubber band ligation is widely used for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids where the hemorrhoidal tissue is pulled into a double-sleeved cylinder to allow the placement of latex/rubber bands around the tissue. Over time, the tissue below the bands dies-off and is eliminated during a bowel movement. Rubber band ligation can be performed in a doctor’s office and requires little preparation. Often, however, there is the need for more than one procedure to resolve the condition.
A hemorrhoidectomy surgically removes the tissue that causes bleeding or protrusion. It is done under anesthesia and may require hospitalization and a period of inactivity.
