Haemorrhoid centre: Specialized Haemorrhoid Treatment
Electrotherapy explained
How does it work?
The treatment itself is very simple and has been clinically researched for over 150 years, with advances in medical technology now making it a mainstream practice.
Our doctors will identify and gently rest a probe on the base of the haemorrhoid(s) present, including prolapsed hemorrhoids and various haemorrhoid types. There is no cutting, stitching or heat applied, meaning no anaesthetic, which are some of the main reasons our piles treatment is considered low risk.
The device generates a small current of up to 16mAmp, which feels only slightly uncomfortable, though not painful, which stimulates a chemical reaction in the haemorrhoid, creating an excess of alkali which accumulates to seal off the feeding varicose blood vessel.
This results in the haemorrhoid being starved of its blood supply and it shrinks accordingly. Sometimes it may take more than one treatment to complete the process where the blood vessels are fully sealed and the haemorrhoid completely disappears.
The effect of the treatment continues to work over the following 4 weeks, at which point our aftercare team will be in touch to discuss symptom changes and see if any further treatments are required.
External haemorrhoids
External haemorrhoids, as the name suggests are located outside of the anus, or on the anus itself. They are often pink or skin-coloured, soft and not painful, much like anal skin tags. Sometimes, they can become swollen, itchy or irritated, and very painful if thrombosed external hemorrhoids develop, where a clot gets trapped inside.
A lot of people are quite self-conscious of them as they are unsightly and affect hygiene. While many people try over-the-counter solutions like piles cream or hemorrhoids cream, eXroid electrotherapy is not effective in treating true external haemorrhoids.
External haemorrhoids are often confused with large internal haemorrhoids that protrude or prolapse through the anus, known as prolapsed hemorrhoids, which can be treated effectively with eXroid electrotherapy. We will be able to make this diagnosis during a proctoscopy examination when we assess patients, and advise them on the best piles treatment plan.
