Hemorrhoid Removal Process: What to Expect
Consultation
Before your hemorrhoid removal treatment, you'll meet with one of our expert vein specialists for an initial consultation. They listen carefully while you discuss your concerns, and then talk with you about your treatment options for hemorrhoid removal in Windermere. Once you've created a treatment plan you both feel confident in, they can schedule your first session.
Treatment
For your appointment, your provider has you undress from the waist down, then has you lie down on the treatment table. They will clean the treatment areas before expertly finding the enlarged veins and injecting them with a chemical solution that will cause them to collapse. While it will take your body time to remove the veins and re-direct blood flow, you should begin to find relief from any discomfort within a week of your injections.
Next Steps
You may need to wear a medical pad after your injections to prevent bleeding, but you should otherwise be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately following treatment. Your provider will schedule a check-up about 2 weeks after your injections to see how you are healing and if you need any additional injections.
Your provider may give you specific instructions to prepare for your procedure which you should follow.
Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind.
- Participate in light exercise every 2 to 3 hours for the next 2 weeks to ensure proper blood flow.
- Continue to wear medical pads if you experience any bleeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will treatment be painful?
Because the injections are being administered in such a sensitive area, it can be uncomfortable for patients who have more moderate-to-severe hemorrhoids. You can talk to your provider during your consultation about your comfort options, including numbing.
Can veins come back after treatment?
Unfortunately, hemorrhoids can be chronic. While the veins that cause hemorrhoids are removed during your treatment and will not come back, it's not possible to predict whether other veins may lose function and become varicose.
Is it safe to collapse veins?
Yes, our bodies are adaptive, and when certain veins are destroyed, your body will naturally redirect blood flow to veins that live deeper within your skin and muscle.
