Hemorrhoids are a common complaint amongst the general population today. In the US alone, over 10 million people each year see a doctor with hemorrhoid symptoms. While many associate the condition with painful surgery, only a small percentage actually require surgery due in great part to the development of modern, non-invasive methods of treatment. Some of the modes of treatment available are rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy injection and most recently a medical procedure called infrared coagulation technology, also referred to as IRC.
Infrared technology and its use in the medical field has been researched for quite some time and infrared coagulation technology has fast become one of the most popular treatments for hemorrhoids and is widely considered the best non-surgical treatment for symptomatic hemorrhoids. IRC can be used in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids which develop from the mucous membrane, as opposed to external hemorrhoids which grow from the outer skin of the body.
The way IRC works is by exposing hemorrhoid tissue to short bursts of strong infrared light using a small probe. The hemorrhoid veins are thus compressed and sealed, causing them to shrink. The patient may feel a small sensation of warmth for a short time, but no pain is involved in the process. Therefore, anesthesia is generally not required for the treatment. Infrared coagulation treatment also leaves a slight scar in the area where the hemorrhoid was, preventing new hemorrhoids from forming in the same area.
Infrared coagulation technology is preferred and has many benefits compared with other methods of treatment. The procedure is quick, safe and effective. Patients may be treated in the comfort and privacy of their doctor’s office with this fast, safe and non-surgical procedure. It is well tolerated by patients and after-treatment complications or side effects are exceptionally uncommon. It causes usually no pain and very minimal discomfort is noted by patients. IRC treatment is covered by most health insurance providers and is recommended as a better-quality treatment by medical peer review magazines.
Many vein centers have adopted infrared coagulation for their practices. Infrared coagulation (with equipment like the IRC2100) provides an easy, non-surgical solution for both doctors and patients, taking the fear and pain out of hemorrhoid treatment. The machine is state of the art, user-friendly technology. It’s easy for physicians to learn to use and only takes seconds to perform. The benefits are many, including a significantly shortened recovery time which allows patients to return to their usual activities almost right away.
