What Are Hemorrhoids?
The swollen veins of hemorrhoids are most often found in the rectum and anus,and they can be both internal and external. External hemorrhoids are nearer sensitive nerve endings around the anus and can be very painful, while internal hemorrhoids occur in the rectum where you can't see or feel them
Hemorrhoids are caused by a number of factors, including weight and lifestyle. For instance, those who spend time sitting, strain during physical activity, or bear down for extended periods during bowel movements are at a higher risk of developing hemorrhoids.

If your hemorrhoids don't respond to other treatments, we can perform rubber-band ligation in the comfort of our office. The procedure involves placing tight bands around the base of the hemorrhoids, reducing blood flow and causing them to eventually fall off. We'll use a local anesthetic for your comfort if needed.
