What is
Procedure of Hemorrhoid Banding?
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins occurring in the lower rectum or anus. They can be internal or external. Hemorrhoids form when vein walls thin and bulge. Sometimes, blood clots can develop (thrombosed hemorrhoids), causing pain.
Severe pain or other issues may require hemorrhoid removal. One common method to alleviate internal hemorrhoids is hemorrhoid banding, also called rubber band ligation. For details about hemorrhoid banding in Texas, our providers at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates offer assistance. Our physician-led GI specialist team often uses hemorrhoid banding to treat hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid Banding
How Does the Process of Hemorrhoid Banding Function?
Hemorrhoid banding involves blocking blood flow to a hemorrhoid by applying a rubber band at its base. Gradually, the hemorrhoid will shrink and disappear. Scar tissue will form, preventing nearby veins from swelling or forming additional hemorrhoids.
The procedure entails inserting an anoscope into the anus. The specialist grasps the hemorrhoid and uses a tool to secure a band around its base. Hemorrhoid banding usually addresses one or two hemorrhoids per treatment, unless anesthesia is administered. This treatment method is frequently employed by our specialists at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates to alleviate hemorrhoids.

What is the Recovery Experience After Undergoing Hemorrhoid Banding?
The recovery process post-hemorrhoid banding in Texas varies among individuals. Some may resume normal activities almost immediately, while others might require a few days of rest. Discomfort lasting up to 48 hours is common, and bleeding can occur for about 10 days following the procedure.
The GI team at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates will provide comprehensive recovery instructions after your hemorrhoid banding procedure. To minimize bleeding risk, avoid aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for at least four days before and after the procedure. To alleviate rectal pressure, maintain hydration and consume a high-fiber diet for smoother bowel movements.
