Most people don’t like to talk about them but ignoring hemeroids completely won’t make them go away. In the last months I’ve written about lots of ways to get rid of piles, mainly drinking lots of water, eating fiber-rich foods and not sitting for prolonged periods of time. North Dakota-based TV station KFYR claims that all this won’t make hemeroids go away.
According to their research surgery is the only way to go. But as most people don’t even talk about hemeroids to their doctors they found another person that removes piles with a completely different method: physical therapist Elizabeth Jones.
Jones’s method isn’t new. It has been around since the 1940s and is called the Keesey technique. However it is not completely without pain. During this procedure which is also known as hemorrhoidolysis the swollen veins are touched by an electrode. The electric current forces the hemmoroid to change inside. It shrivels into the lining of the colon. The acual treatment only takes a few seconds. And one can apply the electrode to multiple hemeroids during one session. Afterwards, so Jones says, people can go home instantly without any pain whatsoever. The article sadly doesn’t mention what this procedure costs but is says that Blue Cross Blue Shield covers it while Medicare does not. This method only works with internal hemeroids.
For external hemeroids there is a procedure called rubber banding. This means that a rubber band is applied to the hemmoroid and covers it completely. Blood flow is reduced and the protruding vein falls off in about a week.
While hemorrhoidolysis and rubber banding certainly sound effective I always would choose a natural method over some medical procedure. Especially for people who don’t like to talk to anyone about their piles let alone show them there are much better ways to get rid of hemeroids fast while doing it in the privacy of your home.
