There are several outpatient procedures and over the counter topical treatments for hemorrhoids. Topical hemorrhoids remedies provide short-term relief, but are not effective at reducing or resolving hemorrhoids. Outpatient procedures remove hemorrhoids, but can be very expensive and often leave the patient in significant pain. Natural remedies provide relief as well as a pain free option for resolving hemorrhoids.

Here are the outpatient choices you have:

• Sclerotherapy: Most commonly performed on smaller hemorrhoids, your doctor will provide you with a list of directions to follow before and after a sclerotherapy is performed. In order to alleviate your symptoms, a hardening agent is injected into the affected area to reduce blood flow.
• Rubber band ligation: Your doctor will place an elastic band around the base of the hemorrhoid that causes it to shrink. This is done over the course of six to eight weeks and requires two to four different procedures. You may experience pain or tightness following the procedure. Other side effects can include bleeding or infection.
• Hemorrhoidectomy: For severe cases of hemorrhoids, a surgeon will make a small incision to remove blood vessels within the offending tissue. You will need seven to 10 days for recovery, in addition to anesthesia during the procedure and painkillers for the pain that follows.
