Treating your hemorrhoids
About half of all Americans will have hemorrhoids at some point in their lives. And by the time many overcome their embarrassment and seek help, they really need it badly. But that doesn’t mean they need a hemorrhoidectomy. In fact, hemorrhoidectomy is inappropriate for most hemorrhoids, especially given the inherent risk, pain and downtime. Patients need to be aware that, without treatment, their hemorrhoids and misery will return and worsen over time.
Today, the most common hemorrhoid treatment is rubberband ligation, with roughly 50 million performed worldwide each year. It treats more than 95% of all hemorrhoids and is as effective as hemorrhoidectomy... plus safer and easier on patients.
Today’s more advanced ligators allow more accurate placement away from pain receptors. Gastroenterologist Dr. Gourdji uses the CRH O'Regan System for nonsurgical hemorrhoid removal. These ligators are smaller and more comfortable than other devices, so patients’ hemorrhoids are banded with unprecedented safety and ease.
