About

Treatment

Self-care: Ice can be applied to the affected area for relief. Moist towelettes are used to relax the pain while defecation. Similarly, “Sitz Bath” is also used to alleviate the problem.

Medicines: Ointments containing hydrocortisone should be used as they relieve the symptoms. Analgesics are recommended.

Specialists:

Non-surgical methods:
Rubber band ligation: A small elastic band is placed around the base of a hemorrhoid. The band retracts, thereby pulling the hemorrhoid inside while the surrounding tissue gets healed simultaneously.
Surgical Methods:
Hemorrhoidectomy: The inflamed blood vessels are removed by making a narrow incision.
Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy: The hemorrhoids are anchored back to their normal position.
This condition can be completely cured. At mfine, you will receive a suitable treatment plan for your optimum health.
