Understanding the HAE Internal Hemorrhoid Treatment

Our interventional radiologists in Texas offer Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) for internal hemorrhoid treatment. It's a safe, clinically proven procedure that effectively treats hemorrhoids in a minimally invasive way.  

But how does this work? Well, hemorrhoids are simply enlarged vessels; they develop because of abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the rectum. As such, by blocking blood flow to those vessels using embolization, we can shrink hemorrhoids and resolve symptoms such as itching and bleeding.
