Has anyone ever been to the "Hemorrhoid Treatment Center" (a place that specializes in removing hemmy’s using infrared coagulation?
Is it painful? Did your insurance cover it?
I called this place and it sounds very expensive after all the follow-up visits (~ -6K total).
I have been suffering now for about 1yr and really need to do something about this, but kinda scared to go to see the Dr.
I am not really constipated and clean with prep H wipes after each movement. But, I do notice that maybe I also have internal hemmys that prevents all the BM to completely come out after I wipe. Very uncomfortable to say the least.

I have stage 2 - 3 hemorrhoids. I went to my doc on Friday and we'd discussed having the staple procedure. After the exam, the doc suggested we try band ligation. I reluctantly agreed.

As soon as the band went on I thought something might be wrong - it felt tight, and I thought I'd need to have a BM. I was told this was normal, was given a very limited list of instructions, and was sent on my way. As the weekend wore on the pain started to worsen, culminating in a phone call to the doc's answering service at 6am on Sunday morning. I was able to meet one of his associates at the hospital who removed the band (one of the most painful experiences in my life). I was told I should expect relief immediately. It's been almost 24 hours and I'm still in significant pain.

I've been taking sitz baths, tylenol, stool softners, and haven't worked out in 3 days. Anything else I should/could be doing? I'm not terribly impressed with the aftercare suggestions from my doc… Thanks!

it only happens when the bm comes ..no other time..its bright red and there is no pain..do hemorrhoids heal on their own?
