Most internal hemorrhoids become smaller and cause less pain with either home treatment or fixative procedures, which cut off blood flow to the hemorrhoids.
* Hemorrhoid surgery may give better long-term results than fixative procedures.
* Compared with fixative procedures, surgery costs more, is more risky, and has a longer recovery period.
* Fixative procedures are less risky and less painful than surgery and require less time off from work and other activities.
* Of the fixative procedures, rubber band ligation seems to give the best results but also appears to have a higher risk of complications, especially pain.
Fixative procedures, especially rubber band ligation, may successfully treat hemorrhoid symptoms. Injection sclerotherapy is rarely performed; its success depends on the skill of the doctor, and it works well only for small hemorrhoids. About 77% to 86% of the time, the hemorrhoids do not return.
The decision about what treatment to use for hemorrhoids takes into account your personal feelings and the medical facts. The method you choose will depend on:
* The location of the hemorrhoids, whether they are internal or external.
* The size of the hemorrhoids and how bad they are.
* The amount of pain or discomfort the hemorrhoids cause.
* The amount of bleeding from the hemorrhoids.
As for costs, it all depends on the doctor you choose. Just remember sclerotherapy may or may not work.

sclerotherapy will seal the bulging vein aht cause haemorrhoids. In many instances it is very helpfull and successful if done by a trained surgeon or sklerotherapist (gastro enterologist, proctologist)

I don’t know the costs for sclerotherapy, but personally would opt for alternative treatment. Try Rue Care Oil – it’s easy to apply, it shrinks the hemorrhoid, less costs, no loss of working hours. And on top of that it also strengthens the veins, thus prevent hemorrhoids from returning!
