Cary Gastro Hemorrhoid Center

We Understand the Causes and Treatment of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids can result from too much pressure in the rectum due to a variety of factors. Hemorrhoids are often linked to diet, constipation, diarrhea, obesity, pregnancy, childbirth, and even sitting for extended periods of time. If left untreated, hemorrhoids can worsen over time, to the point that they may require surgery. If treatment is sought early, hemorrhoids can often be treated painlessly in a matter of seconds, and the chance of recurrence is reduced.

Proven and Pain Free Procedures

Hemorrhoid banding, or rubber band ligation, is a fast, non-surgical approach to hemorrhoid treatment that’s 99% effective. A small instrument is used to place a tiny rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid, which cuts off the blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off in a few days. There’s no downtime involved, it’s significantly less costly than surgery, and it’s covered by most insurance plans. Fewer than 5% of patients have a recurrence within two years.

(For external hemorrhoids, Cary Gastro is able to only treat those that are smaller, not requiring surgical intervention.)
