Hemorrhoid Relief Without Surgery in NYC
Hemorrhoids are a condition where veins in the anus and lower rectum become swollen. Hemorrhoids affect up to 40% of the population and typically worsen with age. American Endovascular offers an innovative procedure called Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE), which allows people to achieve relief from hemorrhoids without surgery.
Candidates for Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from hemorrhoids and may be a candidate for HAE:
- Bright red blood with bowel movements
- Pain or irritation around the anus
- Swelling or hard lump near the anus
- Itching or burning near the anus
Benefits of Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization
Patients undergoing HAE can experience a range of benefits, including:
- Minimally Invasive
- No general anesthesia
- Same-day procedure
- No hospital stay
- Fewer complications
- Faster recovery time
How to Prepare for Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization
Before undergoing HAE, patients should expect the following:
- Consult a specialist to review your medical history and previous surgeries
- Follow pre-procedure instructions and adjust your medications as advised
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing to the procedure
- Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the procedure
How Does HAE Work?
HAE is a minimally invasive procedure performed in an outpatient setting. During an HAE procedure, our expertly trained physicians make a slight incision in the upper thigh and insert small catheters, aided by image-guided technology, into the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids. Tiny particles are then injected into these arteries, blocking the blood flow to hemorrhoids and stopping the bleeding.
Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization Recovery
HAE offers a quick recovery time! Patients can go home the same day and return to regular activities within a few days after the procedure. Your hemorrhoid symptoms will typically improve as the hemorrhoids shrink.

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization Frequently Asked Questions
Hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hemorrhoids. It involves blocking the blood supply to the hemorrhoids, which causes them to shrink and reduce bleeding. HAE is a safe and effective alternative to traditional hemorrhoid surgery.
After HAE, you will be monitored for a few hours in a recovery area before being discharged home. You may experience some pain and discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with medication. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for a few days and follow your doctor’s instructions for care.
The cost of HAE may vary depending on your insurance coverage. Please contact us for more information.
