Treatment of hemorrhoids with a vascular laser is one of the ways to get rid of hemorrhoids, or haemorrhoids, commonly known as hemorrhoids. You can live with them, up to a certain stage in the development of the disease, using pain relieving agents. But there are ways to get rid of them once and for all.
Hemorrhoidsare a common and troublesome ailment, which is why for years specialists have been looking for methods that will allow them to be treated effectively. In the first stage of the disease, ointments and suppositories are used to relieve ailments. When the condition is neglected or not treated properly, more radical treatment is needed. The doctor may suggest injecting the nodules or putting rubber rings on them. It can also perform photocoagulation, cryotherapy, or surgically remove any enlarged hemorrhoids. In recent years, the Longo method has been very popular (during the procedure, hemorrhoids are not removed, but vessels supplying them with blood). Currently,laseris increasingly used in treatment.
Using thevascular laser , non-contact photocoagulation is performed at the base of the hemorrhoid, which causes necrosis of the nodule. When the disease is more advanced (stage III and IV), using a CO2 laser, you can vaporize the outer parts of the hemorrhoids outside the anus (vaporization). It is the most modern method of treating hemorrhoids, but it is expensive, because the procedure costs about 700 PLN. However, it is believed to be an alternative to surgery as the procedure is short, painless, bloodless and usually does not require stitches, and the patient quickly resumes his activities. During convalescence, he only needs to wash frequently, using gray soap and antiseptics.
