What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your first visit begins with a conversation. One of our gastrointestinal specialists will discuss your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing. From there, we’ll perform a gentle exam to assess the type and severity of your hemorrhoids and explain your options.
We’ll answer any questions you have and guide you through the next steps, ensuring you feel confident and informed before proceeding with treatment.
Hemorrhoid Treatments We Offer
NYGA offers two of the most effective nonsurgical hemorrhoid treatment options available today:
HemWell™
HemWell™ is a safe procedure to treat a patient’s internal hemorrhoids, often combined with a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, is performed in a surgery center under anesthesia, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Many patients report noticeable relief after just one session, making it an ideal treatment for those with recurring or persistent symptoms.
Infrared coagulation (IRC)
IRC is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure, without the use of anesthesia, that uses infrared light to shrink internal hemorrhoids by cutting off their blood supply. Treatment takes just a few minutes and is performed right in the office with no preparation required. The procedure may require multiple treatments to resolve the hemorrhoid.
We recommend beginning hemorrhoid treatment with IRC or HemWell™, as banding is more invasive and often less comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hemorrhoid Treatment in NYC
How do I know if I need to see a hemorrhoid specialist?
If you’re experiencing rectal bleeding, pain, itching, swelling, or a sensation of fullness during bowel movements, it’s time to speak with a specialist. Hemorrhoids are common, but you shouldn’t have to suffer with them.
How can I get rid of hemorrhoids?
The right treatment depends on the type and severity of your hemorrhoids. At NYGA, we offer nonsurgical options, such as HemWell® and IRC, that safely and effectively reduce or eliminate hemorrhoids without downtime or discomfort.
How do I know if I have a hemorrhoid?
Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus. Common signs include itching, bleeding, or a lump in the area near the rectum. Our gastroenterologists can confirm your diagnosis through a brief and gentle examination and help rule out more serious conditions.
Are hemorrhoid treatments painful?
Most patients describe both HemWell® and IRC as virtually painless. Treatments are quick and performed without the need for anesthesia. While some individuals may experience mild pressure or warmth during the procedure, the discomfort is typically minimal and brief.
How long is the recovery after treatment?
There is minimal to no recovery time, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment. Some patients experience slight irritation for a day or two, but serious side effects are rare.
Will hemorrhoids come back after treatment?
While hemorrhoids can recur, our treatments provide long-lasting relief. We’ll also work with you to help manage contributing factors, such as diet and lifestyle, to reduce the chance of recurrence.
