PROCEDURE

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)

Procedure:

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)

How it’s Performed

A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided under X-ray imaging to the arteries that supply internal hemorrhoids. Tiny particles are released to reduce blood flow, which helps shrink the hemorrhoids and stop bleeding.

Symptoms Treated

  • Bleeding with bowel movements
  • Prolapse of internal hemorrhoids
  • Mucus drainage, pressure, or discomfort

Key Benefits

  • No cutting or removal of tissue
  • Less painful than surgical hemorrhoidectomy
  • Return to work in 1–3 days
