At Upper Hill Gastroenterology, we offer Hemorrhoid Band Ligation, a safe and effective treatment for internal hemorrhoids. Our expert team is committed to helping you manage this common condition and improve your quality of life with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is Hemorrhoid Band Ligation?
Hemorrhoid band ligation is a non-surgical procedure used to treat internal hemorrhoids. It involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. Over time, the hemorrhoid shrinks, dries up, and eventually falls off.
This quick and minimally invasive procedure is highly effective for treating hemorrhoids that cause symptoms like bleeding, discomfort, or prolapse.

Why Choose Hemorrhoid Band Ligation?
Hemorrhoid band ligation is ideal for patients with internal hemorrhoids that:
- Cause bleeding during bowel movements.
- Protrude outside the anus (prolapse) but can be pushed back inside.
- Cause discomfort or irritation that doesn’t respond to dietary or lifestyle changes.
What to Expect During the Procedure
1. Preparation
- Minimal preparation is required. You may be advised to use an enema or laxative before the procedure to clear your bowels.
- No sedation is typically needed, as the procedure is relatively painless.
2. Procedure
- The doctor uses a specialized device to place a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum.
- The band cuts off blood flow to the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and eventually detach.
- The procedure is usually completed in less than 10 minutes.
3. Post-Procedure
- You may experience mild discomfort or a feeling of fullness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Avoid strenuous activities and follow any dietary recommendations provided by your doctor.
- The hemorrhoid typically falls off within a week, and the area heals naturally.
