Infusion Therapy (IV Infusion) in Kansas City, MO
What is infusion therapy?
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are inflamed veins that occur in the lower anus or rectum. A hemorrhoid may arise within the rectum (internally) or outside, on the anus, (externally). It typically occurs in the case that the vein walls in the anus or rectum become so thin that the veins swell or stand out. In some instances, a blood clot will develop inside the hemorrhoid (thrombosed hemorrhoid) and may be a source of discomfort.
If a hemorrhoid should become extremely painful or causes any other health concerns, it could need to be removed. One procedure commonly utilized to remove internal hemorrhoids is hemorrhoid banding, also referred to as rubber band ligation. If you are looking for information on hemorrhoid banding in Kansas City, MO, we can help. At Digestive Health Specialists, our physician-led group of gastrointestinal specialists commonly address hemorrhoids using hemorrhoid banding procedures.
