About Hemorrhoidectomy

A hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove severe or recurrent hemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed veins in the lower rectum and anus. This definitive treatment is typically recommended when conservative measures like dietary changes, topical creams, or less invasive procedures have failed. The surgery involves excising the problematic hemorrhoidal tissue, often under general or spinal anesthesia. While it is considered the most effective long-term solution for symptomatic hemorrhoids, it is also associated with a more significant recovery period compared to non-surgical options. The goal is to provide lasting relief from pain, bleeding, and prolapse, significantly improving the patient's quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
