Hemorrhoids may be rarely serious but they can cause a great deal of discomfort – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Some are hesitant to seek treatment, either because of feelings of embarrassment or fear of the treatment.
Surgery isn’t the only option
Initially, a specialist would recommend more conservative measures to keep your hemorrhoids from getting worse. This includes adding more fiber-rich food to your diet, doing regular warm or sitz baths, using topical treatments, and taking oral pain relievers.
If none of these are improving your hemorrhoids, a specialist would re-assess your hemorrhoids and recommend a better treatment plan.
Hemorrhoid Relief at Premier Surgical Hemorrhoid Treatment Center
Infrared Coagulation (IFC) is offered at Premier Surgical Hemorrhoid Treatment Center at Knoxville. It’s a gentle, minimally-invasive procedure used for treating hemorrhoids.
Unlike surgery, it doesn’t require stitches or days off. It only uses a small probe to make contact with the skin above the hemorrhoids. The probe emits a pulse of infrared light to zap hemorrhoids. This results in scar tissue that cuts off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoid, eventually, shrinks and falls off.
Depending on the severity of the hemorrhoids, about 3 to 4 quick treatments (a month apart) are recommended to fully get rid of the source of hemorrhoids.
IFC is covered by most insurance plans.
