Haemorrhoid Banding – Comprehensive Overview
Haemorrhoid Banding is a minimally invasive, safe, and highly effective procedure designed to treat internal haemorrhoids. At VVR Chaitanya Hospital, we use state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques to ensure that patients experience minimal discomfort while achieving maximum results. This procedure involves the application of a small rubber band at the base of the haemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply, which causes it to shrink and eventually fall off naturally within a few days. The treatment is ideal for patients suffering from bleeding, pain, itching, or prolapsed internal haemorrhoids, and it is performed in a hygienic and comfortable hospital environment.
