You should research into them. This article is a all-inclusive look at hemorrhoids and what your options are when it comes to surgically healing hemorrhoids.

The Remedies -

Method/ Details

Rubber Band Ligation: With this operation you lie on your side with your knees pushed up to your chest. A proctoscope is manipulated to enter the anal cavity and the rubber band will be applied to the stem of the hemorrhoid using forceps. Dependent on the severity and number of hemorrhoids you have, it will take weeks or even months. But your piles will instantly begin to shrink.

Cryotherapy:

Liquid nitrogen, a very frigid substance, (−196 °C; −321 °F) is used to freeze the offending vein and eradicate all disease. This approach is very popular because side effects are minimal and the treatment itself is quick.

Pain Level: 3/10 – possibly a little soreness

Time To Mend: Three days to three weeks. Quantity of procedures qualified on how many hemorrhoids you have and how severe your case is.

Risks: As I have said, the risks with cryotherapy are minimal. But it can be a very dangerous substance if misplaced. Precautions are always taken.

Infrared/Light Coagulation: Another rapid treatment for piles, has proven very popular with users. A high-powered laser is used to quickly cure the hemorrhoid by burning it. The left over scar tissue holds all of the other veins in place.

Pain Level: 3/10 - Dictated on your sensitivity to pain you may feel the slightest twinge or experience a little discomfort.

Time Until Healed: Depends on how many piles you have – commonly one session per hemorrhoid.

Risks: The possibility of risks are very low. Mistakes are highly rare.

Hemorrhoidectomy: Here we have the final procedure, but it's certainly not the least public. The following section is commited to explaining the hemorrhoidectomy. If you are considering this option it's important to know the facts!

Pain Level: 9/10

Time Until Recovery: 2/3 weeks

Risks: You may experience a lot of infliction early on after the operation, allergies to the operation, and rectal fissures.

The Hemorrhoidectomy

In most cases, hemorrhoids can be treated over time naturally through the right diet and attitude. However...

Often times piles will keep reurning with a vengeance, or simply stay and not leave. If your doctor agrees, this is the context in which to have a hemorrhoidectomy.

This operation is an approach to remove hemorrhoids in their entirety, through general anesthetic. Subsequently, the new cut is stitched up to moderate the bloodloss. And finally sutured to unite the skin and allow healing to commence. Over the next several weeks healing will take place and the sutures will dissolve away in time.

Post-surgery you will experience pain. For some it will be endurable, and for for others it will be incredibly sore for the next week after the operation. However, your doctor will prescribe you the relevant drugs to ease the discomfort. And you should also get some suggestions on how to organically care for your wound during the next several weeks.

- Eat well – Plenty of fiber and water in your eating habits.

Sitting baths - these are abundantly encouraged by all doctors. There are no side effects (providing the water isn't too hot that is) and the pain subsides almost instantly. Take one three to five times everyday day, at fifteen minutes a time. Simply run lukewarm water into your bath and dip your bottom in. For the really best experience make sure you scatter salt into the bath water, and add essential oils. This way you can be certain you have kept the area clean and ensure the pain isn't too bad - you may even obviate the prescription drugs completely!

In summary, while the hemorrhoidectomy is the most severe and afflictive, it does ensure the least chance of hemorrhoids coming back (dependant also on your diet) when compared to all other surgeries.
