The following treatments are given for curing internal hemorrhoids.
Rubber Band Ligation - This is used for treating internal hemorrhoids of 2nd degree and it is done as an outpatient treatment. This procedure is non-surgical; in this process, the blood circulation of the inflamed tissue is decreased by tying a rubber band over it.
Injection Sclerotherapy - In this method, a chemical solution is injected into the mucous membrane that is located nearer to the hemorrhoid. This chemical solution is responsible for shrinking the hemorrhoid by helping in inflammation and closure of veins.
Infrared Photocoagulation - This is used to treat hemorrhoids of small/medium size. The doctor applies heat on the hemorrhoids using the IR device, which coagulates the hemorrhoid's dilated veins. The blood vessels coagulate and stop the blood flow thereby eliminating the hemorrhoids.
Laser Coagulation - involves passing of an electric current through the hemorrhoids; this current causes a chemical reaction. The electric current causes a chemical reaction that shuts down blood supply to the hemorrhoid thereby causing it to shrink.
Hemorrhoidectomy - a surgical procedure. Groups of hemorrhoids in the anal canal are removed surgically by using a scalpel, laser or cautery device.
