HALO - Virtually pain free treatment for Haemorrhoids
This news item was added on 28th May 2008
Haemorrhoids (piles) are a common and painful problem - half of the over 50‘s in the country (plus a good few younger people, especially women, who have developed them as a result of pregnancy and childbirth) suffer from haemorrhoids.
Haemorrhoids can literally be a day to day problem, they can cause a number of embarrassing problems such as bleeding, itching or just general soreness.
Other symptoms include:
- Discharge
- Prolapsed haemorrhoids
- Cleaning difficulties
- Inflammation.
Treatments for haemorrhoids
So, why is it that so many people who suffer with haemorrhoids don’t get them treated? Probably because in addition to the embarrassment of an intimate examination, they believe the treatment will be very painful and will result in them being unwell for a number of weeks.
Pain free surgical treatment for Haemorrhoids
The Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation Operation (HALO) is a new operation designed to eradicate piles without the need for cutting and in some cases without a general anaesthetic. The HALO procedure is now available at The Manchester Haemorrhoid Centre based at The Alexandra Hospital performed by Mr Saeed, a highly trained surgeon with a specialist interest in haemorrhoids and other proctological disorders. Mr Saeed has extensive experience of the HALO operation and has been performing this surgery at The Alexandra Hospital over the last two years.
The British Haemorrhoid Centre aims to offer a technologically advanced and scientifically proven "virtually pain free" approach to the treatment of haemorrhoids / piles avoiding the need for lengthy recovery. For further information go to: www.halocentre.co.uk
