How Can I Eliminate Internal Hemorrhoids?

Today, you can eliminate internal hemorrhoids without surgery by choosing Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE). But what are hemorrhoids, and why would you choose this minimally invasive treatment option to relieve their symptoms? Here's what you need to know.

Understanding Hemorrhoids

Symptomatic hemorrhoids are also called piles. Basically, they are bulges in your rectum that form in spots of abnormal connections between arteries and veins. Before HAE was an option, patients needed to eliminate internal hemorrhoids via surgery. Today, however, embolization can relieve symptoms such as itching and bleeding by blocking blood flow to the affected arteries.
