Hemorrhoid disease is a common medical problem. Most diets today are lacking in fiber content which our body requires for proper function. This is only part of the story because digestive disorders can be caused by lack of active enzymes or normal bacterial flora. Active digestive enzymes are deficient in most highly processed foods and antibodies can destroy the "good bacteria" in our bowel. This results in poor absorption of essential amino acid, vitamins, minerals and many other components which our body needs for proper nutrition. Ultimately our bowel can become so ill that a "leaky gut syndrome" develops which means the bacteria and toxins are allowed into the blood.

This sets the stage for many diseases of the colon, rectum and other body systems. Hemorrhoid complaints with constipation or diarrhea must be thoroughly examined so that more serious conditions can be excluded. Most of the time good medical management and dietary modification is sufficient. However, when surgery is required we utilize the Harmonic Scalpel to minimize post-operative pain and speed recovery. The office consultation will allow time for you to discuss the extent of your disease and treatment options.
