Hemorrhoid Embolization
What Is
Hemorrhoid Embolization?
Hemorrhoid embolization is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids, especially in cases where traditional treatments like creams or surgery have failed. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. During the procedure, tiny particles are injected into the arteries supplying blood to the hemorrhoids, effectively shrinking them by cutting off their blood supply. At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, we use the latest techniques to perform hemorrhoid embolization, providing relief without the need for more invasive treatments.
Why Choose
Hemorrhoid Embolization?
Hemorrhoid embolization offers a highly effective, low-risk alternative to surgery for treating severe or persistent hemorrhoids. This procedure is performed with minimal discomfort, does not require general anesthesia, and allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical options. At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, our experienced medical team, led by Dr. Susan Fox, specializes in advanced vascular procedures like hemorrhoid embolization to help patients manage symptoms and regain comfort.
Am I a
Good Candidate?
If you suffer from recurrent or severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to over-the-counter treatments or if you wish to avoid surgery, you may be an excellent candidate for hemorrhoid embolization. This procedure is especially beneficial for those who experience frequent bleeding, discomfort, or pain from hemorrhoids. Our team at Fox Vein & Laser Experts will assess your condition during a consultation to determine if hemorrhoid embolization is the best treatment option for you.
