Infrared Coagulation (IRC) is a non-invasive, non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment. Many medical studies found IRC to be the non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment of choice because it is fast, well tolerated by patients, and virtually problem free. A small probe contacts the area above the hemorrhoid, exposing the tissue to a quick pulse of infrared light. This coagulates the vein above the hemorrhoid causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and recede. The patient may feel a slight sensation of heat but our Infrared Coagulation hemorrhoid treatment is generally not painful. Therefore, anesthesia is not required. Schedule a hemorrhoid treatment consultation to see if you are a candidate for IRC. Our experienced and caring doctors are ready to help you.
Treatment with IRC is painless, safe, and effective. Before treatment, your physician will conduct a routine external and internal examination to chart your hemorrhoid disease and ensure that there is no other disease responsible for your symptoms. This examination takes only a few minutes.
