Hemorrhoids, a problem that cannot be told to anyone. Doctors reveal signs, symptoms and treatment according to the period that does not always require surgery. Stop the suffering and reclaim your quality of life.
Hemorrhoid are conditions in which the blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum become swollen or bulge, which may be caused by increased pressure in the abdomen, such as from straining to pass stool, constipation, pregnancy, or sitting for long periods of time.
Two main types of hemorrhoids
- Internal hemorrhoids occur above the dentate line (the dividing line between the anus and the rectum). They are usually painless, but may bleed during bowel movements.
- External hemorrhoids occur below the dentate line and can be painful and itchy. Sometimes, blood clots form, which can be very painful.
Symptoms of hemorrhoids
- Bleeding: Fresh blood is often found after a bowel movement.
- Pain or itching, especially in external hemorrhoids or prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.

Other non-surgical treatments
- Rubber Band Ligation is only used for internal hemorrhoids of levels 1-3. The hemorrhoid is tied around the base to isolate the blood and cause it to fall off.
- Sclerotherapy, injecting chemicals to shrink hemorrhoids, has become less popular due to complications such as stenosis.
- Cryotherapy: Uses cold to freeze hemorrhoids to death and cause them to fall off.
Laser Treatment for Hemorrhoids
Laser hemorrhoid treatment steps
- The patient received local or general anesthesia.
- A laser is used to cut off the hemorrhoid’s base to cut off the blood supply and cause the tissue to atrophy.
- It only takes 15-30 minutes for internal hemorrhoids and another 15-30 minutes for external hemorrhoids, and most patients go home the same day or the next day and are back to work and normal life in 2-7 days.
- Fast wound healing: If only internal hemorrhoids are treated, the wound will heal in just 1-2 weeks. If external hemorrhoids are also removed, the wound will heal completely in 6-8 weeks, the same as normal surgery, but with less pain.
Advantages of laser treatment
- It is a highly accurate treatment method that reduces injury to the sphincter muscles.
- Less pain and faster recovery
- Reduce the risk of infection and bleeding
- It can treat both internal and external hemorrhoids and can treat multiple heads at the same time.
The pain and bleeding are reduced quickly, with a lower chance of recurrence than traditional treatment methods. The success rate is over 90%, with almost no scarring in the anus, no anal strictures. If the pain is severe, the laser can be repeated. If symptoms recur in the future, the chance of recurrence to the point of needing another procedure is quite low, <5% in 5 years.
