Hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort. This surgery is typically recommended for severe or persistent hemorrhoid problems that don’t respond to other treatments, such as medications or lifestyle changes. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia and involves the excision of the hemorrhoids. Recovery may involve some pain and discomfort, but many patients find significant relief from their symptoms after healing. It's important to follow post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.
