- Doctors often administer minimal invasive treatment, such as coagulation, sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation to individuals suffering from bleeding hemorrhoids. In the coagulation method, the hemorrhoid is exposed to extreme heat and infrared and laser beams. Such exposures are designed to wither the hemorrhoids and cause them to fall off. With sclerotherapy, chemical solutions are injected into the hemorrhoid tissues. The chemical solution frequently damages the hemorrhoid tissues and diminishes the size of the hemorrhoids. With rubber band ligation, three to four bands are placed near the internal hemorrhoid tissue, causing them to fall off, ideally, in four to five days.
- Various medications, counter creams and ointments are often prescribed by doctors to patients suffering from bleeding hemorrhoids. These medications typically contain components such as hydrocortisone and hazel because they help reduce the discomfort of the patients. However, the excessive use of these medications and creams often lead to side effects such as inflammation, rashes and thinning of skin.
- In certain severe and serious cases of bleeding hemorrhoids, doctors often recommend surgery to remove the excessive tissues of the hemorrhoids; such a surgery is known as hemorrhoidectomy. In this method, the damaged hemorrhoid tissues are surgically removed from the patient's body. Hemorrhoidectomy is considered to be one of the most effective treatments for bleeding hemorrhoid cases. The surgery is commonly performed under the influence of local anesthesia and rarely does it cause any health risks.
