Hemorrhoid Embolization

Hemorrhoid embolization is a treatment for internal hemorrhoids that offers long-lasting relief from rectal bleeding. Hemorrhoids form when abnormal connections are made between arteries and veins in the rectum. Embolization works by blocking these abnormal blood vessel connections, which eliminates the bleeding.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Anyone who suffers from grade 2 or 3 internal hemorrhoids
• Patients who fail medications and/or non-surgical minimally invasive procedures

What Should You Expect From Hemorrhoid Embolization?

• Clinical results show patient satisfaction rate in 75% of patients
• Reduction of bleeding by approximately 50%
• Side effects include pain, bleeding, and urinary retention
• Hemorrhoids may return up to two years later
