Description

What Hemorrhoid Banding Does

• • Places a small rubber band at the base of the hemorrhoid
  • Stops blood flow to that hemorrhoid tissue

• Makes the hemorrhoid shrink, dry up and detach naturally over time
• Aims to relieve bleeding, swelling, burning and discomfort when sitting or passing stool

Who This Procedure Is For

• Patients with recurrent internal hemorrhoids that bleed or prolapse
• Patients who keep getting “piles attacks” even after creams and medication
• Patients with discomfort when passing stool or cleaning, but without severe external thrombosis
• Patients who want a clinic-based option instead of immediate hospital surgery

How the Banding Procedure Works

1. Assessment
   A discreet anal/rectal exam is done to confirm the issue is suitable for banding (typically internal hemorrhoids). If the problem is actually a fissure, abscess or thrombosed external hemorrhoid, a different approach may be needed.
2. Positioning and Local Comfort
   You are positioned for access. Local anaesthesia or numbing is used where appropriate to keep you as comfortable as possible.
3. Band Placement
   A tiny rubber band is applied at the base of the hemorrhoid. The band cuts off the hemorrhoid’s blood supply so it shrinks.
4. Aftercare Instructions
   You receive guidance on what to expect in the next few days: mild pressure / fullness feeling, how to manage discomfort, how to clean, and what is normal versus what needs urgent review (severe pain, heavy bleeding, fever).
5. Follow-Up
   A follow-up appointment is arranged to check healing, confirm bleeding has reduced and assess if additional banding sessions are required for other hemorrhoids.
