Laser treatment of hemorrhoid
Laser treatment for hemorrhoids in Kyiv
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a modern minimally invasive method for treating hemorrhoids, known for its high effectiveness and minimal recovery time. The procedure is performed without incisions: a laser beam precisely targets the affected tissue, causing coagulation and shrinkage of the hemorrhoidal nodes. Due to its low invasiveness, the risk of complications and the need for hospitalization are significantly reduced. This method is widely used in leading clinics around the world as a safe and comfortable alternative to traditional surgery.
Advantages of laser treatment of hemorrhoids
Oxford Medical proctology uses equipment unique in our country - Biolitec laser manufactured in Germany. Fiber (light guide) LHP Procedure Kit, designed for the treatment of hemorrhoids, creates a radial laser beam through which the laser energy is directed directly into the hemorrhoidal node, without causing any harm to the mucous membrane or epithelial tissue of the anal canal.
The use of laser for the treatment of hemorrhoids has a number of advantages:
- no stitches, incisions, open wounds;
- no damage to the mucosa or epithelium of the rectum;
- no need for hospitalization;
- no general anesthesia is required, only local anesthesia is sufficient;
- much shorter recovery time compared to surgery.
Causes and symptoms of hemorrhoids
The disease develops when, under the influence of negative factors, the veins running in the rectum become enlarged and inflamed, forming painful nodes. Provoke the disease can cause many reasons, but special harm is caused by sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy food, abuse of alcoholic beverages (primarily beer and wine), physical exertion, digestive disorders and so on.
Referral to a doctor is necessary if under their influence the first symptoms of hemorrhoids begin to appear:
- pain in the area of the anus;
- bleeding (after defecation).
Over time, they are joined by the prolapse of hemorrhoidal nodes. Initially, this occurs only with constipation or appreciable physical exertion, but over time even a cough is enough for this. If initially the nodes are repositioned, then in the future it becomes increasingly difficult to do so.
Stages of hemorrhoids
- The first stage - there is a slight increase in hemorrhoidal nodes, which provokes discomfort and periodic light bleeding after defecation.
- The second stage - when pushing hemorrhoidal nodes fall out, but later independently repositioned, in addition, the patient begins to worry about itching and discomfort in the area of the anus.
- Third stage - after prolapse hemorrhoidal nodes are manually repositioned and kept in the anal canal until the next defecation, also more often there is heavy bleeding.
- Fourth stage - hemorrhoidal nodes fall out and stop repositioning, because of which the patient constantly experiences discomfort and pain (it becomes uncomfortable to sit down, stand up, perform active movements), there may also be spontaneous bleeding.
Most patients at the appearance of symptoms of hemorrhoids try to endure them in the hope that the disease will pass by itself. However, sooner or later, everyone needs qualified treatment. The only question is how neglected and complicated the disease will be when the patient gets to the doctor.
Diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids
Only a proctologist can confirm the fact of the disease, who examines the patient for this purpose. Self-diagnosis, let alone treatment, is impossible.
Symptoms of hemorrhoids can be similar to those of anal fissures. In addition, the disease itself has 4 stages of severity and two forms - external and internal. And if the patient can verify the existence of external nodes on his own, then an examination is necessary to diagnose internal ones.
The initial stages of hemorrhoids can be treated with medication, but most patients come to doctors with advanced and complicated disease. The best way to treat hemorrhoids of any form and stage is to use a laser.
Surgical methods of hemorrhoid treatment
Today, most surgeons favor laser hemorrhoidoplasty. It is minimally invasive, allows you to affect a limited area of tissue, can be carried out without general anesthesia and hospitalization, and has a short and easy rehabilitation period. At the same time, other surgical methods of hemorrhoid treatment are used in proctology, namely:
- infrared photocoagulation;
- radio wave removal of hemorrhoidal nodes;
- latex ring ligation;
- longo transanal resection;
- doppler disarterization with the HAL-RAR method.
Which method will be the most effective in the patient, the proctologist determines individually according to the results of examinations.
What is included in the laser hemorrhoid treatment procedure?
Preliminary consultation of a proctologist and examination - the specialist finds out the patient's complaints, studies the medical history and conducts diagnostics. As a rule, it includes a finger examination and anoscopy - endoscopic examination of the anal canal.
Preparation for the procedure - for 1-3 days it is advised to adhere to a light diet, and immediately before it to cleanse the intestines with an enema or laxatives prescribed by the doctor.
Carrying out anesthesia - in laser treatment, local anesthetics are used.
Laser treatment - the surgeon removes hemorrhoidal nodes using a laser.
Rehabilitation period - takes about 2 weeks and includes the fulfillment of doctor's recommendations (local application of medications, light diet, refusal of alcohol, visiting baths, etc.).
How does the laser device work?
Oxford Medical has a German Biolitec laser with a light guide LHP Procedure Kit. It produces a radial laser beam, which allows you to affect directly on hemorrhoidal nodes. Thanks to this, as well as the ability to change the power of laser radiation and the depth of exposure during the procedure does not damage the tissue of the anal canal and the mucous membrane of the rectum. Treatment is fast, safe and almost painless.
At Oxford Medical, laser hemorrhoid removal is performed by highly qualified proctologic surgeons with many years of experience.
