1. How would you explain the hemorrhoid embolization procedure?

This modern procedure is a minor surgery performed under local anesthesia. Small particles are inserted through a catheter to block the artery that supplies blood to the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid then shrinks, and the recovery starts. The recovery is less painful compared to traditional surgery.

2. Will I be in pain if I choose hemorrhoid artery embolization?

No. The entire journey of having a hemorrhoid artery embolization is usually not painful. Patients often experience mild discomfort during the procedure. The minor discomfort the patient may experience can be alleviated with over-the-counter medications.

3. Should I go for hemorrhoid embolization if my case is severe?

Hemorrhoid embolization is usually effective for most patients. But, it may not be the best decision if your hemorrhoids are larger or the case is complicated. In such cases, specialists generally recommend going with a traditional surgery.

4. How do I know if hemorrhoid embolization is risky or not?

Here’s a fact you must know: the hemorrhoid embolization technique is known to be the safest. It is a minor surgery where slight discomfort is only felt during the procedure. The pain in the recovery phase is bearable. It all depends on the hygiene and care the patients take to avoid getting the catheter insertion area infected.

5. Will I have to take a long leave from work after hemorrhoid embolization?

No, not at all. It will only take a day or two to get back on your feet. At most, a patient may take a week’s rest. With the flow of blood reduced, the hemorrhoids begin to shrink. The pain being bearable is not a point of concern when it comes to rejoining an active life.
