Sclerotherapy is considered to be a modern treatment for piles. In this, a special type of chemical agent is injected into the area where the piles are located, due to which it shrinks and withers. The success rate of this treatment in treating hemorrhoids has been considered good. When hemorrhoids are removed, a scar is usually left behind, which prevents hemorrhoids from forming in the same area in the future.

One great thing about the sclerotherapy procedure is that the patient is not given general anesthesia. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure, which is effective in the treatment of grade-1 and grade-2 internal hemorrhoids.

It is advisable to get sclerotherapy done in case of grade-1 or grade-2 hemorrhoids. Grade-1 or grade-2 hemorrhoids develop when the blood vessels around the rectum become swollen, causing pain and making bowel movement difficult. In such a situation, doctors can use sclerotherapy to shrink grade-1 or grade-2 hemorrhoids. Let us know how this whole process is done -

  • In the process of sclerotherapy, the doctor first inserts an anoscope into the anus. An anoscope is a small tube that allows the doctor to see inside the anus more clearly. The doctor injects a chemical directly into the blood vessel, which causes the hemorrhoid to shrink or shrink in size. Sclerotherapy does not require anesthesia or sedation.
  • During the injection, a chemical solution called a sclerosant is injected into the submucosa (the area of ​​tissue under the inner lining of the bowel) of the back passage rather than directly into the blood vessel.
  • The injections are given above the dentate line, the line where the sensitive outer skin becomes the less sensitive inner mucosa, and injections above this point are fairly painless.
  • The treatment usually takes 5-10 minutes and 2-3 hemorrhoids can be treated at a time. The treatment can be repeated if necessary.
  • You will be asked to rest after the treatment as a precaution.
