Rubber Band Ligation

Rubber Band Ligation is a medical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids. The doctor places a small rubber band around the base of a hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. Without blood, the hemorrhoid shrinks and eventually falls off within a few days. This minimally invasive treatment is typically performed in a doctor's office and helps reduce symptoms like bleeding, pain, and swelling. It's effective for small to medium hemorrhoids and usually involves little discomfort, allowing patients to resume normal activities quickly.
