Hemorrhoid treatment center?

Question by traderbayz: Hemorrhoid treatment center?
Has anyone ever been to the “Hemorrhoid Treatment Center” (a place that specializes in removing hemmy’s using infrared coagulation?
Is it painful? Did your insurance cover it?
I called this place and it sounds very expensive after all the follow-up visits (~ $ 5-6K total).
I have been suffering now for about 1yr and really need to do something about this, but kinda scared to go to see the Dr.
I am not really constipated and clean with prep H wipes after each movement. But, I do notice that maybe I also have internal hemmys that prevents all the BM to completely come out after I wipe. Very uncomfortable to say the least.

I had the rubber band ligation done a few months ago. The procedure itself didn’t hurt and the insurance paid for it. Afterwards it was kind of uncomfortable until the hemmorid falls off, but the Dr gave me Vicodin for pain and that helped alot. If you go this route, plan on resting at home for at least a day. It wasn’t expensive, I saw that the insurance company was billed 129.00, so even if you have to pay for this, it’s not overly expensive.
PS it’s very embaressing, but a necessary evil.
Good luck and get it taken care of asap!!

I have never been there but it does sound expensive.See a Doctor, there is a new procedure called banding. Try a sitz bath which can be purchased at a pharmacy.I get flare ups and they are painful and bleed.Drink plenty of water to soften the stool and try not to get constipated.
