Overview
Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, can cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) offers a minimally invasive, highly effective treatment option for managing hemorrhoidal symptoms without the need for surgery.
What is Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE)?
HAE is a state-of-the-art, non-surgical procedure designed to reduce the blood flow to the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids, effectively shrinking them and alleviating symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and discomfort. This procedure is performed under image guidance by a highly skilled interventional radiologist, ensuring precision and safety.
Key Benefits of HAE
- Minimally Invasive: No surgical incisions, ensuring quicker recovery.
- High Success Rate: Effectively relieves symptoms in most patients.
- Outpatient Procedure: Many patients can return home the same day.
- Preserves Anal Anatomy: Reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
- Reduced Pain: Minimizes post-procedure discomfort.
Who Can Benefit from HAE?
HAE is recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Persistent bleeding from hemorrhoids.
- Pain and discomfort that interfere with daily activities.
- Ineffectiveness of lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments.
Our specialists evaluate each patient’s condition to determine the best treatment approach.
How is HAE Performed?
- Initial Consultation: Our experts conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical examinations and imaging tests if necessary.
- Procedure Preparation: The patient is made comfortable, typically under local anesthesia.
- Image-Guided Embolization: A small catheter is inserted into an artery near the groin or wrist. Using advanced imaging, the interventional radiologist guides the catheter to the hemorrhoidal arteries and places tiny embolic materials to block blood flow to the hemorrhoids.
- Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
