Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and bleeding. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids. It involves using a laser to shrink and seal off the swollen veins, thereby reducing the size of the hemorrhoids and alleviating symptoms. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Compared to traditional hemorrhoidectomy surgery, laser hemorrhoidoplasty is associated with less pain, faster recovery, and minimal risk of complications such as bleeding and infection.

• Symptoms: Symptoms of hemorrhoids include pain, itching, swelling, and bleeding during bowel movements. Hemorrhoids can also cause discomfort and irritation in the anal region.
• Causes: Hemorrhoids can develop due to increased pressure in the veins of the rectum and anus, which may result from straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation or diarrhea, pregnancy, obesity, or prolonged sitting or standing.
• Treatment: Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a laser to shrink and seal off swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. This helps reduce the size of hemorrhoids and alleviate symptoms. Other treatment options for hemorrhoids include lifestyle modifications, topical medications, rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and traditional hemorrhoidectomy surgery.
