painful and embarrassing no one wants to
talk about hemorrhoids the simple truth
is once these swollen veins become a
problem people can't sit back and ignore
it that's because it's thrombosed in
other words that's a fancy word for it
it has a small clot it descends the skin
and it becomes real painful now there's
a new less invasive treatment that makes
these bleeding blood vessels disappear
where surgery used to be the only option
the FDA approved a bipolar device that
destroys the troublemaker we still have
to put the patient to sleep but bipolar
is a fancy way of saying energy goes
from one part of the device to another
this procedure requires one session and
patients go home the same day compared
to traditional surgery which cuts out
the offending clot leaving patients with
an uncomfortable healing process the
bipolar method is cutting-edge treatment
with no cutting it shrinks the blood
flow into the hemorrhoid which then
shrinks the internal hemorrhoids it
doesn't extend deeper to involve the
muscle tissue so there's no surgery in
terms of cutting out the tissue there's
no sewing up the procedure is quick and
relief is almost immediate it's
phenomenal we can get rid of the
internal hemorrhoids and frequently
shrink the external hemorrhoids in a
painless fashion more serious cases may
still require surgery but this technique
is sapping the strength out of most
hemorrhoids for Lee Memorial Health
