Rubber band ligation of hemorrhoidal tumors in Kharkov

According to WHO statistics, the share of hemorrhoids in proctology accounts for about 40% of cases. ON Clinic Kharkiv offers its effective and non-surgical treatment using ligation with latex rings. High-quality implementation of this procedure by our experts will allow you to quickly get rid of the disease comfortably and avoiding the risk of complications.

What is latex ligation?

The cause of the formation of hemorrhoids is varicose dilatation of the rectal vessels. Impaired local circulation causes an increase in their size and displacement, up to prolapse out of the anal canal.

Hemorrhoids can be external, internal, and combined:

• external hemorrhoids are characterized by prolapse of piles from the anal canal and are often accompanied by pain and itching;
• internal hemorrhoids manifest themselves by anal bleeding;
• combined hemorrhoids have symptoms of both forms of pathology.

Proctologists distinguish the following risk factors for hemorrhoids:

• weight lifting;
• chronic constipation;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• pregnancy and childbirth;
• alcohol ingestion (causes dehydration and hardening of fecal masses).

Timely detection of pathology can prevent the development of severe disease and reduce the risk of complications, which often include periproctitis, thrombosed hemorrhoids, and anal sphincter dysfunction.

Treatment of hemorrhoids with latex ligation consists of bandaging the piles with latex rings. Such a medical measure suspends the flow of blood to the affected area, which leads to its dystrophy and necrosis. Further, the pathological area of the vessel is replaced with healthy tissue.

The experts of ON Clinic Kharkiv urge patients to seek qualified medical care, and not to aggravate the course of the disease by self-healing using traditional methods.

How does the ligation of hemorrhoids proceeds in Kharkiv?

There is a number of contraindications to the ligation procedure, and if none, the doctor prescribes a schedule of treatment sessions. Such contraindications are the lack of clear boundaries between piles and the presence of both external and internal piles. The therapy proceeds in several 20-minute sessions, each of which processes one pile.

For ligation, a special tool – ligator is used. The vacuum suction unit connected thereto creates negative pressure and draws the pile into the ligator’s head. After that, a latex ring is applied to the base of the pile and clamps it. For about 5 days, it is rejected. After 1-2 weeks, the next pile is treated.

Consolidation of a successful result depends largely on compliance with all the doctor’s recommendations during the recovery period:

• avoid excessive pressure on the pelvic organs (i.e., do not sit for a long time, lift weights, or play sports);
• practice intimate hygiene;
• keep a diet to prevent fermentation and constipation.
