Hemorrhoids can cause significant discomfort and negatively impact daily life. Without proper medical intervention, the condition will not resolve on its own. At Thu Cuc TCI, hemorrhoid treatments are performed by experienced specialists using advanced technologies to minimize pain and accelerate recovery time. This article outlines the various hemorrhoid treatment options available at Thu Cuc TCI and how they provide lasting relief for patients suffering from hemorrhoids.
1. Understanding Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids occur when the veins in the anal and rectal area become swollen or inflamed, often leading to discomfort, pain, or bleeding during bowel movements. This condition is common among individuals who suffer from chronic constipation, sit for prolonged periods, or are pregnant.
The most common symptom is rectal bleeding, often seen as blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl. Patients may also experience pain or a burning sensation during and after defecation, which can interfere with everyday activities. In more advanced stages (Grade 2 and above), hemorrhoidal lumps may protrude from the anus. Initially, these lumps may retract on their own, but as the condition worsens, they remain prolapsed and can cause persistent pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Other symptoms include anal itching and discomfort caused by mucus discharge from the hemorrhoids, which can increase the risk of infection if not properly cleaned.
Hemorrhoids typically present with several characteristic symptoms, among which rectal bleeding during bowel movements is the most common.
2. Medical Treatment for Mild Hemorrhoids
For patients with early-stage hemorrhoids (Grade 1 or 2), Thu Cuc TCI offers conservative treatment with medication, including:
– Topical ointments or suppositories to reduce inflammation, swelling, and discomfort.
– Venoactive drugs to strengthen blood vessel walls and improve circulation in the affected area.
– Laxatives for those with chronic constipation to ease bowel movements and reduce pressure.
It is essential that patients follow the physician’s instructions carefully to ensure effective results and minimize the risk of side effects.
3. Surgical and Minimally Invasive Procedures
3.1. Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (DGHAL)
This advanced, minimally invasive procedure is ideal for Grade 2 or 3 hemorrhoids. Using Doppler ultrasound, doctors identify and ligate the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids. This reduces blood flow, causing the hemorrhoids to shrink naturally.
Advantages include minimal pain, preservation of anal function, fast recovery, and the possibility for same-day discharge.
3.2. Longo Procedure (Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy)
For internal hemorrhoids in Grades 3 and 4, the Longo method offers a modern, less painful option. It uses a circular stapling device to reposition prolapsed hemorrhoids and restore normal anatomy.
This technique is performed in a low-pain zone, allowing patients to recover quickly—usually within 1 to 2 days with minimal post-operative discomfort. It also lowers the risk of recurrence and is safe for a wide range of patients.
The Longo procedure is currently one of the most advanced techniques for hemorrhoid treatment.
3.3. Milligan-Morgan and Ferguson Hemorrhoidectomy
In cases of complicated Grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids, surgical removal may be necessary. The Milligan-Morgan technique completely excises the hemorrhoids, offering high success rates and long-term results. The Ferguson method involves suturing the wound for faster healing and reduced scarring.
Both methods are highly effective and are selected based on the patient’s specific condition and medical history.
3.4. Diode Laser Hemorrhoid Treatment
The most advanced and gentle treatment option offered at Thu Cuc TCI is Diode Laser therapy. This method uses high-frequency laser beams to precisely target and shrink hemorrhoids without traditional surgical cutting.
Key benefits include:
– Painless and bloodless procedure with minimal tissue damage.
– Fast recovery: patients can resume normal activity within 5–6 hours, with no need for hospitalization.
– Lower recurrence rates due to the precision of the laser technology.
Diode Laser is ideal for patients with early to moderate hemorrhoids (Grade 2 or 3) who want a quick, non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime.
Patients do not need to wait until hemorrhoids become severe to undergo surgery; the condition can be managed gently even at grade 2 or 3.
