This minimally invasive procedure involves placing a small rubber band around the base of an internal haemorrhoid. The band cuts off the blood supply to the haemorrhoid, causing it to shrivel and fall off within a week. It is usually performed in cases of grade 1 or 2 haemorrhoids. The process is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and requires no anaesthesia. Patients may experience mild discomfort or a sense of fullness after the procedure.

In sclerotherapy, a chemical solution is injected directly into the haemorrhoid. This solution causes the haemorrhoid to shrink and eventually disappear. It is most effective for small internal haemorrhoids (grades 1 and 2). The procedure is relatively painless, and patients can return to normal activities shortly after. Sclerotherapy is also a suitable option for individuals who cannot undergo more invasive treatments due to medical reasons.

Infrared coagulation uses a beam of infrared light to generate heat, which coagulates the blood vessels supplying the haemorrhoid. This leads to tissue scarring and the eventual shrinking of the haemorrhoid. IRC is commonly used for small to medium-sized internal haemorrhoids. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and associated with minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild discomfort but can typically resume daily activities immediately.

Haemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove large or prolapsed haemorrhoids. It is often recommended for severe cases (grades 3 and 4) or when other treatments of haemorrhoids fail. During the procedure, the haemorrhoids are excised using a scalpel, scissors, or laser, and the wound is either left open or stitched closed, depending on the piles surgeon preference. While highly effective, haemorrhoidectomy involves a longer recovery period and can be associated with postoperative pain. It is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia.

This procedure involves using a circular stapling device to reposition and secure prolapsed haemorrhoids back into the rectum. The stapler also cuts off the blood supply to the haemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. Stapled haemorrhoidopexy is less painful than traditional haemorrhoidectomy and has a shorter recovery time. It is primarily used for internal haemorrhoids that have prolapsed. The procedure is performed under regional or general anaesthesia and requires a hospital stay of one or two days.

Laser surgery is a modern technique that uses focused laser energy to remove or shrink haemorrhoids. The precision of the laser minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in reduced pain and faster healing. Laser surgery is suitable for both internal and external haemorrhoids and is often chosen for its minimally invasive nature and shorter recovery time.
