The sclerotherapy procedure is done to treat little swollen hemorrhoids inside the anal canal. The great thing about sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids is that the chemical that is used works just about 100% of the time and doesn't affect other surrounding tissues.
What happens during a sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids procedure is that the doctor injects a chemical to the affected tissue. Having this done will cause the inflamed veins to harden up and lose its blood supply and eventually die. At that point a smooth small scar should start forming where you previously had a hemorrhoid.
What happens after?
Anal bleeding is expected to occur after a week or two once the hemorrhoidal tissues fall off. Do not worry though because the bleeding will eventually cease.
Meanwhile, here are the other two most important points you need to remember after you have undergone the sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids procedure:
In order to prevent bleeding during the sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids operation do not take any prescription medications for a week before and a week after.
Because you are suffering with inflamed hemorrhoid it is imperative you have easy and smooth passage of your stool each day. This will happen on its own if you start including veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts to your daily dietary regime.
Do not strain while defecating.
Any doctor will recommend sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids if:
Your herbal remedies or treatments just aren't cutting the mustard.
Rubber banding your hemorrhoids won't work becuase even though they hurt really bad, they are too small to band.
Prolonged bleeding episodes are happening due to the inflammed and irritated hemorrhoid.
You've been around the sun too many times (you're too old) for surgery.
How well does this work?
This is something you should look into if you have smaller hemorrhoids.
Most noted side effects:
Just like just about all medical operations, there can be complications so be warned. For your guidance, here are some of them:
You will most likely feel a burning and itching and severe inflamtion if the injection needle doesn't go exactly into the hemorrhoid and hits outter rectal tissue. This can be very painful since your anal tissue has thousands of delicate nerve endings inside of it just beneath the skin.
Allergies to the chemicals.
Wounds developing along the rectal or anal canal.
Inability to control your bladder after the procedure.
Prostate gland damage.
Hemmoraging if your anal area and constant bleeding that you cannot stop.
I strongly suggest you bypass the sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids procedure and learn about much safer and more effective ways to stopping more hemorrhoids from growin and getting rid of the ones you do have all together.
