Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE) in Westmont, IL
Are you dealing with painful hemorrhoids that cause bleeding? Hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) can help. This minimally invasive procedure offers long-lasting relief from hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding, with a majority of people seeing an improvement in symptoms within one month of treatment.
Hemorrhoid artery embolization provides relief by reducing the blood supply to the hemorrhoids. It is performed by an interventional radiologist in an outpatient setting—that means you can go home the very same day.
HAE is the best treatment option if you suffer from hemorrhoids that cause rectal bleeding and have not been successfully treated with hygiene, diet, or medication. Get relief and get back to your daily routine with hemorrhoid artery embolization.Request an Appointment
