Non-surgical Hemorrhoid Therapy (IRC):
"Non-Surgical Treatment of Hemorrhoids" is performed at our Royston location. This procedure is performed usually after undergoing a colonoscopy while the patient is sedated. This procedure involves applying infrared light through the anus to compress and seal hemorrhoid veins. This method is painless, safe, and effective. Before any treatment, a physician will conduct a routine external and internal examination to chart your hemorrhoid disease to determine whether or not you are a candidate for IRC. |
