Hemorrhoids (piles) : minimally invasive treatment
Hemorrhoids are a taboo. Nobody talks about hemorrhoids. A hemorrhoid disorder is unpleasant. It itches, it burns and it hurts.
Almost 10,000 people in Singapore suffer from Haemorrhoids each year with 7,000 requiring surgery.
However: Hemorrhoids are important! Healthy haemorrhoids as vascular pads contribute significantly to the fine closure of the a**s. They support the function of the sphincter. In the course of life, however, a large number of people experience enlarged or lowered pads. At an advanced stage, surgery is usually performed, often with excessive hemorrhoid tissue being cut out.
The low-pain treatment of hemorrhoids using laser radiation is a very good alternative to traditional surgical procedures. Laser energy is used to close feeding vessels to the Haemorrhoid as well as shrinking the Haemorrhoidal cushion. This helps to resolve the problem - bleeding (hence burning sensation), pain and engorgement.
