A hemorrhoid is a cluster of veins in or around the anus that become swollen and inflamed. Common over-the-counter medications that help with pain and itch are enough for some people to get relief, giving the bumps time to heal on their own.

You’re a candidate for HAE if you’re in good overall physical health. The severity of hemorrhoids is based on a graded scale, so that when your hemorrhoids reach a certain stage, your doctor is more likely to recommend hemorrhoid embolization.

Hemorrhoid artery embolization is a new, less painful alternative to hemorrhoidectomies. Because there is no actual cutting, the recovery time is much less than that of traditional hemorrhoid surgery. Additionally, risks of side effects are reduced, although since you’re relying on an experienced expert with Dr. Bolotin, risks already are greatly reduced.
The benefits of hemorrhoid artery embolization also include:
Even if you have some physical health conditions, you may still be considered for surgery. HAE typically causes less bleeding and infection after the procedure than other hemorrhoid removal surgeries. Hemorrhoid artery embolization is a safe procedure with excellent results.
