Hemorrhoid electrotherapy is an effective treatment option for hemorrhoids. In fact, there are three methods of this treatment available today: CRH O’Regan System, Sclerotherapy, and Infrared coagulation. Read on to learn more about each one. A review of the literature provides some information on the pros and cons of each method. Whether it is for you or not depends on your own situation.
CRH O’Regan System
The CRH O’Regan System for Hemorrhoids is a revolutionary solution for painless treatment of hemorrhoids. Because of its advanced technology, the CRH O’Regan System is completely painless, with no preparation or recovery time. The system works to eliminate the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids and has been hailed as the best hemorrhoid treatment.
The CRH O’Regan System uses a gentle suction device to cut off the hemorrhoid’s blood supply. The procedure is quick and painless, and the CRH O’Regan system is covered by most health insurance plans and Medicare. If you do not have insurance, you should discuss the cash payment options available from your physician.
A study by the University of Wisconsin shows that RBL and electrotherapy do not significantly alter anal pressure. Both electrotherapy and RBL produce similar results. The hemorrhoid surgery group experienced an increased VFS that is not reversed after hemorrhoidectomy. While RBL and electrotherapy are largely painless, they do have some major side effects.
Hemorrhoid energy treatment
Hemorrhoid energy therapy (HET) uses a device inserted into the anus to produce low-level heat to treat hemorrhoids. As the name suggests, HET uses heat energy to shrink hemorrhoids, but the procedure is not painful and is effective for both grade 1 and grade 2 hemorrhoids. It is effective for hemorrhoids that prolapse but reduce spontaneously. However, grade 3 and grade 4 hemorrhoids require manual reduction. The procedure usually takes eight to 12 seconds per hemorrhoid and most patients do not feel any pain.
The HET(tm) bipolar system uses elastic rings made of natural rubber. These rings have a diameter of approximately five millimeters and an inner diameter of one millimeter. The low temperature used during this treatment allows the heat to penetrate the tissue and convert into thermal energy. During treatment, the tissues are compressed gradually over a period of twelve to fourteen days. In this manner, the pain experienced by the patient is minimal.
Sclerotherapy
Although sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids is an effective treatment, the procedure is not without risks. Although this procedure is effective, the relief is temporary and hemorrhoids will return. Some patients report bleeding, infection, or inability to have a bowel movement following sclerotherapy. The procedure is safe, but patients should expect a small amount of discomfort during the treatment.
Patients are evaluated for suitability for the procedure by examining their medical history, gender, and age. The most commonly injected substance is sclerosant. However, some patients are not candidates. Ineligible patients are those with concomitant anal fissures or a large anal diameter. If you have a severe case of hemorrhoids, you should not try this treatment unless you are sure that it will be effective.
Postoperative pain is one of the most common complications after a hemorrhoidectomy. This study tested the hypothesis that sclerosant injections will reduce pain as the resection wound shrinks. During the procedure, ALTA sclerotherapy was performed on both internal and external hemorrhoids. The study included 59 patients with Grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids. Each patient recorded pain levels at bedtime for 3 days. The study included measures of pain such as time off work and patient satisfaction.
Infrared coagulation
The benefits of infrared coagulation for hemorryoids are obvious. It works well in eliminating internal hemorrhoids without the use of anesthetic. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which makes it an ideal choice for many patients. Patients may need three to four sessions spread over a few months. In addition to preventing the development of more severe hemorrhoids, infrared coagulation is also a great choice for people who cannot undergo more invasive methods of treatment.
Infrared coagulation is a procedure that involves inserting a probe into the anus and emitting a burst of infrared light for one to 1.5 seconds. This technique is designed to cause scarring, which is an effective defense against inflammation in the future. However, this treatment is not suitable for every patient. Patients should be aware of possible side effects before undergoing infrared coagulation.
