Gastroenterology Associates of Brooklyn is proud to announce the addition of HemWell MD, an advanced, minimally invasive treatment option for patients suffering from hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are common, but that does not make them easy to live with. For many patients, symptoms such as bleeding, itching, burning, swelling, and pain can interfere with daily comfort, work, travel, and quality of life. Unfortunately, many people delay treatment because they are embarrassed, worried about discomfort, or unsure which options are available.
At Gastroenterology Associates of Brooklyn, our goal is to make digestive health care more comfortable, accessible, and effective. That is why we are pleased to offer HemWell MD, a modern hemorrhoid treatment designed to provide fast relief with minimal downtime.
What Is HemWell MD?
HemWell MD is used to perform a procedure known as a Hemwellectomy™, a minimally invasive treatment for hemorrhoids. The procedure uses low-level direct current to target hemorrhoidal tissue and reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoid, helping the body shrink and resolve the affected tissue over time.
Unlike traditional surgical hemorrhoidectomy, HemWell MD is designed to avoid cutting, burning, or removing tissue. For many patients, this may mean a more comfortable experience and a faster return to normal daily activities.
Why Patients Choose HemWell MD
HemWell MD may be a good option for patients who want effective hemorrhoid relief without traditional surgery. Benefits may include:
Minimally invasive treatment
HemWell MD is designed to treat hemorrhoids without surgical excision.
Fast results
Many patients experience symptom improvement quickly after treatment.
Minimal discomfort
The procedure is designed to be gentle and well tolerated.
Little to no downtime
Patients are often able to return to normal activities soon after treatment, depending on their individual condition and provider recommendations.
Covered by many insurance plans
HemWell MD may be covered by Medicare and many private insurance plans. Coverage depends on each patient’s specific insurance policy.
Symptoms of Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids may cause symptoms such as:
- Rectal bleeding
- Itching or burning
- Pain or pressure
- Swelling near the anus
- Discomfort during bowel movements
- A feeling of incomplete emptying
Although hemorrhoids are common, these symptoms should not be ignored. Rectal bleeding or ongoing discomfort can sometimes be caused by other digestive conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps, or colorectal cancer. A proper evaluation by a gastroenterology specialist is important.
When to See a Gastroenterologist
You should schedule an appointment if you have persistent rectal bleeding, worsening pain, recurring hemorrhoids, or symptoms that do not improve with over-the-counter treatments. A gastroenterologist can determine whether hemorrhoids are the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
At Gastroenterology Associates of Brooklyn, our experienced providers offer compassionate evaluation and advanced treatment options in a professional, discreet setting.
