Hemorrhoid Banding

Hemorrhoid banding, also known as rubber band ligation, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids by cutting off their blood supply. During the procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid, which causes it to shrink and eventually fall off. Hemorrhoid banding is typically recommended for internal hemorrhoids that are causing pain, bleeding, or discomfort and has a high success rate with minimal downtime. At Revere Health, our specialists offer hemorrhoid banding to provide quick and effective relief, allowing patients to return to normal activities with minimal discomfort.

When Is Hemorrhoid Banding Recommended?
Hemorrhoid banding is typically recommended for:

Bleeding Hemorrhoids: When hemorrhoids cause bright red bleeding during bowel movements.
Prolapsed Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids that have protruded outside the anal opening.
Persistent Pain or Discomfort: For hemorrhoids that do not respond to dietary or lifestyle changes.
Recurrent Hemorrhoids: For patients experiencing frequent flare-ups.

How Does Hemorrhoid Banding Work?
Preparation: No special preparation is needed, but patients may be advised to avoid certain medications.
Procedure: During the procedure, a small scope is used to view the hemorrhoid, and a specialized banding device places a tiny rubber band at its base. The band constricts blood flow, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink.
Aftercare: The banded hemorrhoid typically falls off within a week, and the area heals on its own.
