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.

Using interventional radiology, we restore circulation for patients with PAD disease. Toronto residents benefit from PAD treatment that improves mobility, relieves pain, and avoids risks of traditional PAD surgery.

Our uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or uterine artery embolization is a non-surgical fibroid intervention. Toronto patients prefer it as an effective symptom relief without requiring a hysterectomy or major surgery.

Prostate Artery Embolization

Prostate embolization or prostatic artery embolization is a less invasive intervention for an enlarged prostate. Toronto patients trust our prostate embolization technique for lasting relief and excellent recovery compared to hospital surgery.

Hemorrhoid Embolization

Our hemorrhoid embolization procedure reduces symptoms by cutting off the abnormal blood supply. Toronto patients value this outpatient radiological intervention for its comfort, effectiveness, and short recovery.

Genicular Artery Embolization

Genicular artery embolization relieves chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis. This interventional radiology therapy is a preferred option among Toronto residents because it is a safe alternative to knee replacement, has a faster recovery period and provides long-term relief.

Varicose Veins

We offer varicose vein treatment, including endovenous laser treatment. Toronto patients benefit from improved circulation, reduced discomfort, and enhanced appearance with these minimally invasive varicose treatments.
