What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, similar to varicose veins. They occur when increased pressure causes the veins to stretch and bulge. Internal hemorrhoids develop in the rectum, inside the anal cavity, while external hemorrhoids form around the anus. When these veins swell, they can become painful and itchy, especially when passing stool.

Hemorrhoid Symptoms

  • Irritation and swelling around the anal region
  • Painful bowel movements
  • Bright red blood on toilet paper
  • Lumps near the anus that may feel itchy, sore or tender
  • Pain or discomfort while sitting

How We Treat Hemorrhoids

At Orange County Interventional Radiology, we offer hemorrhoid embolization, a cutting-edge, nonsurgical procedure that blocks the blood supply to hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink and decreasing bleeding over time. This minimally invasive technique requires no cutting or removal of tissue, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional hemorrhoidectomy.

Why Choose OCIR

Our interventional radiologists specialize in minimally invasive treatments that target the source of your discomfort with precision. We provide compassionate care and effective solutions that allow you to return to normal activities quickly without the extended recovery of conventional surgery. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about your options.
