What are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are part of our normal anatomy. Everyone is born with hemorrhoids which are veins in our rectum and anus but when they get inflamed, they cause discomfort and bleeding.
We all have two types of hemorrhoids: internal hemorrhoids the ones that you cannot see and external hemorrhoids the ones you can see and feel.
What are the causes?
Hemorrhoids are usually caused by straining during bowel movements, poor bathroom habits, obesity, or pregnancy.

What is the treatment?
In general, the treatment for internal hemorrhoids is conservative and includes high fiber intake and changes in bathroom habits and hygiene. Our doctors provide in-office procedures for patients who have not responded to conservative management and include rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy injection, and excision of anal of skin tags.
Our physicians also provide options for complete hemorrhoid excision in the operating room.
