How
long is the procedure?
Generally, a treatment lasts about ten minutes. However, treatment
time depends on the severity of the hemorrhoid to be treated and your
comfort level. Your physician will adjust the treatment time according
to your needs. If required, you may have more than one treatment for
the same hemorrhoid.
How many Treatments are required?
Patients are evaluated on a case by case basis. Your physician will
determine how many visits are required based on your examination.
Most patients require 5 to 7 visits at 1-2 week intervals.
Can I be treated if my hemorrhoid is actively
bleeding?
Yes. Your first treatment with IRC should immediately reduce your
symptoms of bleeding.
Can I be treated with IRC if I'm on medication?
In most cases, yes, but you must inform your physician of the medication
you are taking.
With the IRC procedure, will I be able to
have a normal bowel movement?
Yes. IRC produces no disruption to your work schedule or lifestyle.
What must I do after the procedure?
You can continue with your usual activities, even on the day of treatment.
However, it is always recommended that you add high-fiber foods to
your diet.
