Clinical Advantages

Why choose haemorrhoidal embolization

Haemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) is a targeted outpatient procedure designed to block abnormal blood flow that feeds bleeding piles.

Avoid Anal Surgery
01

Unlike conventional hemorrhoidectomy, this approach avoids painful incisions, open wounds, and delicate post-surgical dressing in the anal area.

02
Pinhole Recovery

Performed under local anesthesia via a tiny puncture at the wrist or groin. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return home the same day.

03
Targeted Blood Flow Reduction

Micro-coils or particles precisely reduce excess arterial supply feeding the piles, causing them to shrink and stopping persistent rectal bleeding.

The Procedure

Our clinical protocol

Diagnostic Mapping
01

Symptoms and bleeding are thoroughly evaluated—with proctoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging—to confirm internal piles and rule out other causes.

02
Micro-Targeting

Under X-ray guidance, an interventional radiologist routes a thin catheter to the specific small arteries feeding the haemorrhoids and deploys micro-particles.

03
Rapid Recovery

The access puncture is closed with simple pressure, allowing same-day discharge. Treated piles gradually shrink as blood supply decreases.

Who Is Suitable for Embolization?

  • Patients with persistent bleeding internal haemorrhoids not controlled by medication/lifestyle changes, those wanting to avoid surgical pain/wounds, or high-risk surgical candidates.

  • Rectal bleeding must be evaluated (via colonoscopy if indicated) to rule out serious conditions before treatment. Very large, prolapsed piles may require alternative procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does HAE remove the piles?

No tissue is cut or removed. HAE starves the excess blood supply so the haemorrhoids shrink naturally and bleeding stops.

Is the procedure painful?

The entry site is numbed with local anesthesia. Post-procedure pain is typically mild and much less severe than traditional surgery.

Is it suitable for all types of piles?

It is best suited for bleeding internal haemorrhoids. Large prolapsed piles may require traditional surgical or procedural options.

Should rectal bleeding be checked first?

Yes. Proper evaluation (such as colonoscopy or proctoscopy) is strongly advised before any embolization procedure.
