How does Dr. Mathis treat hemorrhoid disease?
Dr. Mathis prefers to relieve hemorrhoid symptoms in the Hemorrhoid Care Clinic (HCC) office with a safe and effective advanced procedure called infrared coagulation (IRC). The infrared light applied above the hemorrhoid causes coagulation of blood vessels which feed the hemorrhoid and results in shrinkage of the hemorrhoid tissue. Dr. Mathis teaches her patients that everyone has hemorrhoid tissue, and that this tissue has an important function in the body. She discusses reasons why many people grow excessive hemorrhoid tissue, even after surgical removal, and how to reduce this tendency for symptoms to recur.
