What is the most dangerous complication of injection sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Pain, necrosis, bleeding, infection and only limited long term benefit. If the underlying cause of the flare of the hemorrhoid is not addressed, ie constipation, diarrhea, excessive straining, the hemorrhoid will recur.
