Hemorrhoid Options: Edward: There are many different types of non-invasive internal hemorrhoid treatments availalbe which you should discuss with your proctologist that may vary depending on your diagnosis: (1) sclerotherapy, (2) hemorrhoid banding, and (3) infrared coagulation (IRC). The treatment will depend on the severity or grade of your hemorrhoids. Internal Hemorrhoids are graded from I to IV. Best of Luck!
