Hemorrhoid Surgery

Hemorrhoid surgery, also known as hemorrhoidectomy, is a procedure to remove swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that cause pain, bleeding, or discomfort. It is usually recommended when other treatments, like topical creams or dietary changes, have failed. The surgery can be done under local or general anesthesia and aims to relieve symptoms and prevent future issues. Recovery may involve some discomfort and care in managing the surgical site, but most patients find significant relief after healing, which typically takes a few weeks.
