Most haemorrhoids do not need an operation
Do all haemorrhoids require surgery?
No. Many cases can be managed without surgery, and treatment usually begins with simple measures before any procedure is considered.
If a procedure is needed, the choice depends on the type of haemorrhoids, the grade of internal haemorrhoids and the symptoms. Some internal haemorrhoids can be treated with rubber band ligation or injection sclerotherapy. Surgery may be considered for selected large or prolapsing haemorrhoids, or symptoms that persist despite treatment.
If your symptoms persist or you are unsure of the cause, arrange an assessment.
