Hemorroidectomy. This kind of hemorroids surgery is commonly reserved for permanently prolapsed or protruding hemorroids, these are anal surgeries that are carried out under anesthesia and may require hospitalization after the process. When the hemorroids become to large and already protrude out of the anus most of the time, it might be a right time and be necessarily be cut off through a hemorroids surgery process called hemorroidectomy. In some cases it might not mean actual cutting off of pieces of hemorroids tissue from the anal walls, but just merely dissecting the swollen hemorroid to remove clotted blood and puss so that the hemorroid can eventually "dry" up with the help of other medication such as ointments and suppositories. Internal hemorroids usually can be destroyed by injecting them with a chemical substance, this is be necessary if internal hemorroids are prolapsed or very large.

Coagulation. This kind of hemorroid surgery is considered best for hemorroids that are still in its smaller shape. It involves the process of burning of hemorriods with the help of electric current or infrared light to burn off or shrivel the hemorroid tissue.. Continuous hemorroid treatment results in shrinkage and disappearance of hemorroid.

Rubber Band Ligation. Any qualified medical practitioner uses a rubber band to tie off the hemaroid at the root so that they wither off and die. By its very nature, this hemorroids surgery method of treatment cannot be applied in the early stages of the hemorroid since the hemorroids are still tiny. It is best suited for hemorroids that are already hanging out of the anus, or those that are seen and felt as big lumps outside the anal opening. This procedure is based on the fact that hemorroid thrive on regular blood supply. Therefore, if the blood supply is cut off, by tying the vessels that carry blood to the lumpy hemorroids, then this shortage and absence of this blood supply will see to it that the hemorroid will "starve to death", but it take a couple of weeks for the area to completely heal. This procedure is usually painful and may cause bleeding and because there are no nerve endings in the rectum, no anesthesia is necessary on this kind of hemorroid surgery.

Sclerotherapy. In sclerotherapy, a chemical solution or substance are injected around the blood vessel to shrink and destroy the hemorroidal tissue.


Fortunately, there are now various effective medicated hemorroids treatment and procedures that are readily available to treat hemorrhoids to avoid hemorrhoids surgery. In many cases this condition may require only self-care and lifestyle changes which includes the following:

    o Putting an ice bag on the rectal area to help relieve swelling and chronic pain. Other uses cold compress especially with witch hazel or wet tea bags as hemorroid treatments.
    o Only pat to dry your rectal area. Do not wipe excessively. Patting with moist toilet pads or baby wipes after bowel movement can will help you in your hemorroid treatment. Do not scratch because this will worsen your hemorroid condition.
    o Clean y our rectal area regularly, applying hemorroid cream that contain hydrocortisone or numbing ointment to relieve you from pain, swelling and itching as your hemorroid treatment. But do not use anti-itching creams with anesthetic because it can often cause further anal irritation.
    o Most people also use bulk fiber supplements daily to prevent recurrences of their hemorroids. But bulk fiber may take several days to work so if you have existing hemorroid and you are already suffering from constipation, you may use an immediate-acting stool softener and laxative as hemorroids treatments to encourage fast elimination without straining and further aggravating your hemorroids.
