Hemorrhoid Banding

• Anus
• Rectum

• Band ligation, or banding, is an in-office procedure performed by a doctor to treat internal hemorrhoids
• Much less invasive than hemorrhoidectomy surgery, it is a simple process that can be performed in a doctor's office in just minutes with little discomfort
• Most patients return to work the same day
• All patients will require 3 sessions
• There will be a 2 week interval between sessions
• Occasionally there will be a 4th session that may be required

• Take your medications as normal
• If you take any blood thinners except Aspirin, the hemorrhoid banding cannot be performed.

Normal post procedure symptoms:

• Some rectal bleeding
• Slight pressure sensation

Abnormal post procedure symptoms:

• Severe pain
• Significant bleeding
• Call 911 & go to the nearest emergency room
