A member asked:
What are the side effects of band ligation for hemorrhoids, is it effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Band ligation: Band ligation is the most common non-surgical treatment for internal hemorrhoids. Most of the time, only 1-2 hemorrhoids are treated with each session. People often have some pain for a few days and perhaps a little bleeding in a week, but most people tolerate the procedure well. Some people need several sessions to get rid of all of their hemorrhoids. Good luck.
