How to Eliminate Internal Hemorrhoids

Posted on December 19, 2023

If you want to eliminate internal hemorrhoids without surgery, you need to explore Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE), an exciting new treatment option. But why do hemorrhoids form, what symptoms do they cause, and how can you find relief? Keep reading to find out!

What are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are bulges that form due to abnormal connections between the arteries and veins in your rectum. In the past, you needed surgery to eliminate internal hemorrhoids. But, today, you can choose embolization, which relieves your symptoms by blocking blood flow to abnormal connections between vessels.

Today, HAE is a popular alternative to hemorrhoid surgery. Already, thousands of people have found relief from this effective, minimally invasive treatment options.  Consider its advantages:

  • Comfort: Treatment is delivered through a tiny puncture on your inner thigh
  • Convenience: Patients are able to walk out of the procedure and go home on the same day
  • Effective relief: Studies prove that HAE significantly improves the symptoms of internal hemorrhoids, delivering results that are comparable to surgery, but with lower risk for side effects or complications

Who is a Candidate?
