Types of Hemorrhoids: Internal vs. External
Internal hemorrhoids are swollen veins inside the rectum that form in an area where there aren’t any nerve endings. When internal hemorrhoids become enlarged, the tissue may protrude out through the anus causing symptoms such as itching, bleeding, and swelling. The level of protrusion indicates the degree of severity.
External hemorrhoids often occur as bulges or lumps around the anus. Because of the sensitive nerves in this area, these abnormal vessels are often painful, especially when sitting. If an external hemorrhoid becomes thrombosed, it may even cause severe pain.
How Does Dr. Mohammed Saadi, Treat Hemorrhoids?
There are several other hemorrhoid treatment options in San Diego, ranging from fast, nonsurgical procedures to advanced banding techniques. One of the most proven and pain-free treatments performed by Dr. Mohammed Saadi is the CRH O’Regan System, which takes less than a minute and requires no fasting or sedation. Unlike hemorrhoidectomy surgery, it involves minimal downtime and is covered by most insurance plans. While creams and home remedies may offer temporary relief, CRH banding delivers long-term results with a success rate of over 99%.
Other hemorrhoid treatments include:
Creams and Home Remedies – Hemorrhoid creams can be good in providing temporary relief during a flare-up, however, they just temporarily alleviate discomfort like burning, itching and inflammation without getting to the root of the problem.
Hemorrhoidectomy – As mentioned, a hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids. Typically a hemorrhoidectomy is only needed for the most severe cases. Types of surgical treatments include:
Conventional surgical hemorrhoidectomy
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy (PPH)
Doppler-guided Ligation of Hemorrhoidal Arteries (THD)
With any type of surgery there are severe risk factors involved which is why the CRH O’Regan System, non surgical approach is highly sought after by Maryland residents.
Infrared Coagulation (IRC) – This is a procedure that uses hot infrared light to treat small or mid-sized hemorrhoids. As the treatment tends to be more superficial, often times multiple procedures are required and the wait period between treatments is usually 90 days.
Ultroid Non-Surgical Hemorrhoid Treatment – This is a procedure where a probe is introduced into the anus through an anoscope which uses dc electrical current (“direct current”) to cause the hemorrhoid to scar and shrink.
Sclerotherapy: Chemical Injection Treatment – This treatment involves injecting a chemical through an anoscope into the hemorrhoid tissue, causing it to scar and shrink. Sclerotherapy is rarely practiced today because it has a high potential for complications compared to more safe and effective procedures, like rubber band ligation.
