Hemorrhoid Relief Without Surgery
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. At American Endovascular, we offer an innovative new procedure called Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE), which allows people to achieve relief from hemorrhoids without the need for surgery.
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
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
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.
Why Choose American Endovascular for HAE?
American Endovascular’s affiliated physicians are among the nation’s most respected and experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids. Our team of board-certified interventional radiologists will evaluate your symptoms, provide an accurate diagnosis, and create a personalized care plan that best suits your unique needs.
Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization FAQs
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.

I like the doctor they were kind of pretty thorough he says that he could help me he found out the filter in my abdomen from the surgery I had in 1996 has been clogging my blood flow for 25 years and that’s causing the swelling at every other doctor told me was lymphedema it was not lymphedema it caused the lymphedema because no other doctor took the time or care enough to find out the reason for my leg swelling this doctor was the only one who finally found out and he’s going to see if you could put a stent inside the filter to open it up and and stop my legs from swelling hopefully this will all go good it hasn’t happened yet but I’ll keep you posted thankful for this docto I just pray and hope that it works otherwise I like the doctor very much

You may likely have to wait. Avoid anxiety and frustration. Schedule extra time for the visit. Allow for personal attention to your care needs once in the examination room. Friendly, nice staff and doctor puts you at ease. Bottom line: worth the wait!

I had a good experience with my procedure and Dr. Mobley’s follow-up calls are great. I’ve never had a doctor who has been so concerned about following up after a procedure to see how I’m doing and if there are any post-procedure problems I may have experienced (which there aren’t). I’d highly recommend Dr. Mobley.

He puts his patients before himself, returning calls and e-mails quickly. Not only is he kind and considerate, he is an excellent physician. I had to have a procedure that requires me to be awake, and he talked me through it and kept me at ease. If I could give him more stars, I would.

This has been the best medical experience I’ve had in over thirty years. I was nervous to have a procedure after only knowing about my condition a year ago. They made this process so easy for me that I’m in shock that I had no pain, no discomfort thanks to an excellent doctor and professional staff! Thank you all and best of luck to your practice.

This was the best experience I have had in such a long time and I have had quite a few procedures in the past both in patient and out including the procedure I was currently present for. No other surgeon has been so kind, transparent, and gentle. Not only did he personally come out beforehand to provide me with education on my procedure, but he talked me through every step of the way and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention his amazing staff! Despite being extremely nervous they kept me smiling and laughing throughout the whole process. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much guys!!
