Sclerotherapy is another option for patients with internal hemorrhoids. Dr. Ofshteyn injects a special solution at the top of the hemorrhoid where it gets blood supply. The blood supply to the hemorrhoid gets cut off, and the hemorrhoid shrinks over the next 4-6 weeks. The procedure takes a few minutes, and most patients have very little discomfort. Some people experience a fullness inside the anus for a few days. Most people are able to return to work on the same or following day. Dr. Ofshteyn makes sure that the process is efficient and you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
