Description

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat various anorectal conditions, particularly hemorrhoids. This technique involves injecting a sclerosing agent into the hemorrhoidal tissue, causing it to shrink and eventually disappear. Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for treating early-stage hemorrhoids and is favored for its simplicity and minimal discomfort. Procedure Overview: Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably, and the anorectal area is cleaned and prepared for the injection. Injection: A sclerosing solution, such as phenol in oil, is injected directly into the hemorrhoidal tissue. The solution causes inflammation and scarring within the blood vessels, leading to their collapse and subsequent shrinkage of the hemorrhoid. Post-Injection: The patient may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of fullness, which typically resolves within a few days. Benefits of Sclerotherapy: Minimally Invasive: The procedure does not involve any incisions or stitches, making it a less invasive option compared to surgical treatments. Quick and Simple: Sclerotherapy is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes only a few minutes to complete. Minimal Discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal pain or discomfort during and after the procedure. Effective for Early-Stage Hemorrhoids: Sclerotherapy is highly effective for treating early-stage (grade I and II) hemorrhoids, providing relief from symptoms like bleeding and discomfort. Ideal Candidates: Patients with early-stage hemorrhoids that have not responded to conservative treatments. Individuals seeking a quick and minimally invasive treatment option. Those who prefer an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime. Sclerotherapy offers a straightforward and effective solution for managing hemorrhoids, particularly in their early stages. Dr. Yogesh Ramesh Gosavi utilizes this technique to provide patients with a less invasive alternative to surgery, ensuring relief from symptoms and a quick return to normal activities.
