Hemorrhoids are a collection of nerves, connective tissue, veins and arteries in the anal wall that often enlarge over time and cause severe pain and discomfort. In certain cases hemorrhoids prolapse, or fall outwards from the anus, which increases the pain associated with the condition.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids include:

  • Bleeding from the anus, especially after bowel movements
  • Irritated skin
  • Burning or itching around the anal wall
  • Rectal pain or discomfort

Hemorrhoids are a common problem, but for many the pain is mild and does not require any medical treatment. For others, the pain associated with enlarged hemorrhoids is severe and requires medical attention. In certain cases, hemorrhoids are an indication of other, more severe conditions such as ulcers or rectal tumors.

Hemorrhoid Treatment with the CRH O’Regan System

GI Consultants is now offering the CRH O’Regan System®. A simple, painless and effective way to treat hemorrhoids!

Hemorrhoids are nothing to be embarrassed about – in fact, about 50% of the population will suffer from them by the age of 50.

For many, ointments and creams will only mask symptoms to provide temporary relief. They do not address the root of the problem that is causing the pain, itching, bleeding, and overall discomfort.

If you’re serious about getting rid of hemorrhoids once and for all, it’s time to consider a definitive treatment.

The CRH O’Regan System®

The CRH O’Regan System® offers patients a painless, proven effective solution to the problems associated with hemorrhoids through a unique take on a procedure called hemorrhoid banding, or rubber band ligation.

Much less invasive than a surgical hemorrhoidectomy, hemorrhoid banding with the CRH O’Regan System®, is a simple treatment that can be performed in just minutes with little to no discomfort. There isn’t any prep or sedation and most patients are even able to return to work the same day.

How it Works

Gentle suction is used to place a small rubber band at the base of the hemorrhoid in an area where there aren’t any nerve endings. This only takes about 60 seconds. After a few days, the hemorrhoid will begin to shrink and fall off – you probably won’t even notice when it does!
