Class IV Internal Hemorrhoid. What Are The Treatment Options?
Question: I have a class IV XXXXXXX Hemorrhoid. What are my treatment options
Hi
Thanks for posting your query
If a surgeon has diagnosed it as grade four hemorrhoids which is an irreversible prolapse (we cannot put them back) with or without necrosis, the best option is Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation and Recto Anal Repair. This is evidence based procedure and painless.
Earlier Rubber Band ligation and conventional hemorrhoidectomy were being done. As there is symptomatic recurrence it is not being undertaken by experienced Colo-rectal surgeons though some still prefer to practice the same.
Hope this helps. Am available for followup queries
Wishing you good health ahead.
