Hemorrhoid Embolization
Understanding Hemorrhoids and Treatment options in Atlanta
What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching, bleeding, or discomfort. They're similar to varicose veins, but occur in the anal region, where pressure and strain are common. Chronic hemorrhoids often develop from increased pressure in the rectal veins due to constipation, pregnancy, obesity, or prolonged sitting. When conservative measures such as diet changes, creams, or medications fail, Hemorrhoid Embolization offers a modern, non-surgical solution to eliminate symptoms safely and effectively.
At Advanced Vascular & Vein, our board-certified interventional
radiologists perform this cutting-edge procedure using image-guided precision
targeting the hemorrhoidal arteries to relieve symptoms without surgery or
downtime.
How Hemorrhoid Embolization Works
Hemorrhoid Embolization (also known as the Emborrhoid
Technique or Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization [HAE]) is a minimally
invasive outpatient procedure designed to reduce blood flow to the
hemorrhoidal tissue, causing it to shrink and symptoms to resolve.
