Advanced surgical care for hemorrhoids with comprehensive treatment approach
Dr. Amir Ashrafi provides expert hemorrhoid treatment throughout Northern Sydney, Westmead and surrounding areas. Our approach combines advanced surgical techniques with comprehensive care to ensure lasting relief and prevention of recurrence.
We offer various surgical and non-surgical treatments for hemorrhoids, tailored to your specific condition. Our approach ensures optimal outcomes while minimising discomfort and recovery time.
Hemorrhoids are classified into four grades based on their severity and characteristics. Understanding the grade of your hemorrhoids helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Conservative management with dietary changes, topical treatments, and rubber band ligation if necessary.
Rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or laser therapy are typically effective.
Minimally invasive procedures or hemorrhoidectomy depending on severity and symptoms.
Surgical hemorrhoidectomy is typically the most effective treatment option.
Surgical removal of hemorrhoids grade 3 or 4 for cases requiring definitive treatment. We use advanced technological devices to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal outcomes.
Rubber band ligation (RBL) is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure for treating symptomatic internal haemorrhoids. It involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the haemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off within a few days.
Advanced techniques that offer quick recovery and minimal discomfort for suitable cases.
Thorough evaluation of your condition and discussion of suitable treatment options.
Choosing the most appropriate treatment based on your specific condition and preferences.
Expert care using the selected treatment approach with focus on comfort and effectiveness.
Comprehensive aftercare including lifestyle modifications and preventive measures.
We offer various treatments ranging from minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation to traditional hemorrhoidectomy for severe cases. The best option depends on your specific condition and symptoms.
Hemorrhoids are classified into four grades (I-IV) based on severity. Grade I hemorrhoids bleed but don't prolapse, Grade II prolapse during straining but retract spontaneously, Grade III require manual reduction, and Grade IV are permanently prolapsed. The grading helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific condition.
Hemorrhoids are strongly influenced by lifestyle factors. Key modifications include increasing dietary fibre and water intake, regular exercise, avoiding prolonged sitting or straining during bowel movements, and maintaining good toilet habits. These changes not only help prevent recurrence after treatment but can also reduce symptom severity for existing hemorrhoids.
Recovery time varies by procedure. Minimally invasive treatments may require only a few days, while traditional surgery might need 2-3 weeks for full recovery.
With proper treatment and lifestyle modifications, recurrence is less likely. We provide comprehensive advice on prevention strategies to maintain long-term relief.
We use appropriate pain management techniques to ensure your comfort during and after the procedure. The level of discomfort varies by treatment type and will be discussed during consultation.
