Hemorrhoid Embolization

If you’re among the millions suffering from hemorrhoids, you’re likely familiar with the discomfort and disruption they can bring to daily life. Fortunately, innovative treatment options are available, one of which is hemorrhoid embolization offered at RIA Endovascular. This minimally invasive procedure has garnered attention for its effectiveness and quick recovery time. Here’s what you need to know about it.

What is Hemorrhoid Embolization?

Hemorrhoid embolization is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids by blocking the blood flow to the affected veins. During the procedure, a specialized interventional radiologist uses imaging guidance to insert a catheter into the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids. Small particles or coils are then introduced to occlude these vessels, leading to a reduction in size and symptoms.
