Laser haemorrhoid treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to treat different grades of haemorrhoids, hence relieving the uncomfortable symptoms associated with the condition. Laser treatment for haemorrhoids takes less than 15 minutes and doesn’t comprise any form of cutting tissue off or stitches.
Causes of Hemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids occur due to the enlargement of veins around the anus. Several factors cause this, including:
- Chronic constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Pregnancy
- Heavy lifting
- Sitting for too long
- Genetics
- Obesity
Symptoms of Hemorrhoids
Some of the common symptoms of Haemorrhoids include:
- Depending on the size of the haemorrhoid or grade, one can experience severe pain and soreness in the area
- Itching and irritation around the anus area
- Bleeding
- Inflammation
- A hard lump/bulge on the location of the haemorrhoid (in or outside the anus)
- Swelling of the anus
- Painless bleeding
Treatment of Hemorrhoids with Laser
Although there are many ways of alleviating haemorrhoids, both at-home, non-surgical and surgical, sometimes additional clinical care is needed, depending on the severity or grade of the haemorrhoids. This is where Dr. Mouhsen Al Hosein uses laser treatment to either make the haemorrhoid disappear or drastically reduce its size by shrinking it. There are two types of laser haemorrhoid treatments, which include:
- Endolaser Ablation: Here, the laser fibre delivers laser energy into the hemorrhoidal mass, causing it to collapse.
- Surface Laser Application: This laser technique delivers energy to the surface of the hemorrhoidal mass.
How Laser Hemorrhoid Treatment Works?
The laser treatment for haemorrhoids is one of the most effective minimally invasive treatments for haemorrhoids. It achieves results without cutting any tissues off, and it can be used for different internal haemorrhoid grades.
During the treatment, a special needle probe or fibre with a blunt hot tip is inserted into the cushion of the haemorrhoid, where the laser energy is applied. This then restricts the hemorrhoid’s blood supply, causing the hemorrhoidal mass to close, die, and detach.
How Long Does the Laser Hemorrhoid Treatment Procedure Take?
The treatment is a day-case procedure, meaning you’ll be discharged on the same day without staying overnight. It typically takes less than 15 minutes to perform under local anaesthesia. In some instances, patients may prefer to take a mild sedative to relax during the procedure.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Most people who have undergone laser haemorrhoid treatment usually report very minimal pain or discomfort after the treatment. The downtime of the procedure is also very minimal, considering there is no cutting or tissue removal involved.
