Stapling is a procedure that blocks the blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue and generally results in less pain than a hemorrhoidectomy. Stapling is associated with a greater risk of recurrence and rectal prolapse.
Before deciding on any procedure to treat your hemorrhoids it is important that you do your own research and talk with your physician and surgeon about the side effects, complications and long-term results. Only after weighing the pros and cons and evaluating those against your current health, lifestyle choices and severity of disease can you make a choice about treatment protocols.
Hemorrhoid Prevention
Hemorrhoids are another form of varicose veins that occurs inside, or protruding outside, of the rectum. Varicose veins develop when the one-way valves in the veins are damaged and allow the blood to pool. This pooling causes the veins to become distended, causing itchiness, pain, discomfort and bleeding. This condition also doesn’t allow the body to remove toxins and waste products from the cellular structure effectively. (1)
