Hemorrhoid Embolization, also known as Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE), is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment for internal hemorrhoids. Instead of removing tissue, this procedure targets the arteries that supply blood to swollen hemorrhoids, reducing pressure and allowing the hemorrhoids to shrink naturally.
Using X-ray guidance, a specialist inserts a tiny catheter through the wrist or groin and places microcoils or particles to block the abnormal blood flow feeding the hemorrhoids. No incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia are required.

This procedure is ideal for patients who want:
A consultation helps determine if embolization is appropriate based on examination, symptoms, and medical history.
Hemorrhoids are vascular structures, meaning they are filled with blood vessels. When the arteries supplying these vessels become enlarged or overactive, they deliver too much blood, causing swelling, bleeding, and prolapse.
Hemorrhoid Embolization works by reducing this excess blood flow, addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Patients choose this procedure because it offers:
No incisions or stitches—just a tiny catheter insertion.
Because no tissue is removed, post-procedure discomfort is minimal.
Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Improves bleeding, swelling, prolapse symptoms, and daily comfort.
Reduces the risk of pain, infections, or incontinence associated with surgical hemorrhoidectomy.
Most treatments take under an hour and patients go home the same day.
