Electrocoagulation of hemorrhoids is a medical procedure aimed at combating hemorrhoids by cauterizing hemorrhoids.

General information

Bipolar and monopolar coagulation are used to treat hemorrhoids. The first is used more often.

Bipolar electrocoagulation uses tweezers with two electrodes, monopolar - with one, and the second is presented in the form of a plate, which is placed under the patient's body. Cauterization is carried out to treat the initial stages of the disease. The duration of the event is several seconds, after some time the node dies and falls off.

By supplying alternating electric current, a destructive effect on the hemorrhoidal node occurs.

Procedure

Preparation

The preparatory stage consists of a number of diagnostic examinations. The patient should consult a proctologist to clarify whether this operation will help him. The patient also needs to take a series of tests and cleanse the intestines.

Electrocoagulation of hemorrhoids

The doctor uses an anoscope, which controls access to the area of action.

Bipolar cauterization involves using tweezers with two electrodes. The stalk of the vascular formation is grasped between them, and an alternating electric current is passed. If necessary, the effect is through the mucous membrane. As a result, tissue denaturation occurs, the node dries up.

With monopolar electrocoagulation, one electrode is placed under the patient's back, and the formation is cauterized with the second. The disadvantage of the technique is the insufficiency of burning the thick tissue of the nodes.

The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, and only one formation can be affected in one session.

Rehabilitation period

The dead tissue falls off after a few days. This has virtually no effect on the patient's ability to work and his lifestyle.

It is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions. In the first month, follow a diet to prevent constipation.

Indications

The effectiveness of the technique is inversely proportional to the severity of hemorrhoids. It is used:

  • in the presence of internal hemorrhoids of stage 1-2 and small external ones;
  • after hemorrhoidectomy to eliminate the remaining nodes.

Contraindications

The procedure is contraindicated in the acute form of the disease, paraproctitis. Also contraindications to these manipulations may be poor blood clotting, anal fissures.

Complications

Main consequences:

  • spasm of the anal sphincter;
  • formation of an anal fissure;
