Explore hemorrhoids treatment options based on your symptoms, diagnosis, and clinical findings.
At AC Hemorrhoids & Anorectal Centre, treatment is selected based on your diagnosis, anatomy, symptom severity, and clinical findings. Options may include non-surgical treatment, minimally invasive procedures, and clinic-based minor surgery.
Bright-red bleeding during or after a bowel movement, without tissue coming out, may be associated with internal hemorrhoids. Mild pressure, irritation, or recurrent bleeding may also occur.
Possible Treatment: Banding
Bright-red bleeding may occur with hemorrhoidal tissue that comes out during a bowel movement but returns inside on its own. Pressure, irritation, or recurrent prolapse may also occur.
Possible Treatment: Banding or Rafaelo®
Hemorrhoidal tissue may come out during a bowel movement and not return inside on its own. Some patients may need to manually push the tissue back in and may also notice bleeding, pressure, irritation, or difficulty cleaning.
Possible Treatment: Rafaelo® or Clinic-Based Hemorrhoid Surgery
A firm, tender lump that develops suddenly near the anal opening may be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. Pain may be worse when sitting, walking, or having a bowel movement.
Possible Treatment: Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid Treatment

External hemorrhoidal tissue that remains enlarged or repeatedly becomes swollen may cause rubbing, discomfort, irritation, hygiene difficulty, or recurrent inflammation.
Possible Treatment: Clinic-Based Hemorrhoid Minor Surgery
Persistent pain, burning, or tightness after bowel movements may indicate ongoing internal sphincter spasm, especially when conservative care or prescription therapy has not been enough.
Possible Treatment: Botox® for Chronic Anal Fissure
SA long-standing fissure may develop a sentinel pile, hypertrophied anal papilla, thickened edges, fibrosis, or scar tissue. These changes can make healing more difficult.
Possible Treatment: Clinic-Based Anal Fissure Procedure
A soft piece of skin around the anal opening may cause difficulty cleaning, moisture, rubbing, itching, irritation, or cosmetic concern. Skin tags may develop after previous hemorrhoids, thrombosis, or chronic fissure.
Possible Treatment: Anal Skin Tag Removal
A localized tender lump, recurrent swelling, drainage, pus, or a small opening near the anus may suggest a superficial abscess or superficial fistula. More complex or sphincter-involving disease requires further assessment.
Possible Treatment: Abscess Drainage or Superficial Fistula Procedure

Different anorectal symptoms can have different causes. A focused assessment helps identify the condition, anatomy, severity, and which treatment or procedure may be appropriate.
Medical Review of bleeding, pain, prolapse, swelling, itching, drainage, bowel habits, duration, recurrence, and previous treatment.
External Examination to assess external hemorrhoids, thrombosis, fissures, skin tags, swelling, drainage, or other visible findings.
Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) when appropriate to assess the anal canal, tenderness, sphincter tone, masses, or other findings.
Anoscopy to evaluate internal hemorrhoids, prolapse, bleeding, and other internal anorectal findings.
Further Investigation such as ultrasound or MRI may be arranged when clinically indicated, especially when an abscess, fistula, deeper tract, or another complex anorectal condition is suspected. Medically necessary diagnostic imaging may be covered through Alberta’s public health system for eligible patients.
Fees vary depending on the diagnosis, treatment or procedure selected, complexity of care, and follow-up needs. After assessment, our team can explain the recommended treatment options, estimated fees, and any additional care that may be required.
No. Some mild hemorrhoid symptoms may improve with bowel regulation and conservative care. Procedures are considered when symptoms persist, recur, prolapse, thrombosis, or external tissue significantly affects daily life.
The choice depends on whether hemorrhoids are internal, external or mixed, the degree of prolapse, symptom severity, anatomy, previous treatment, and clinical findings.
No. Many internal hemorrhoids can be treated with non-surgical or minimally invasive options such as banding or Rafaelo®. Clinic-based surgery may be considered when external, mixed, thrombosed, or other tissue requires direct treatment.
Same-day treatment may be possible when the diagnosis is clear, the procedure is appropriate, and any preparation requirements have been met.
A detailed anorectal assessment can help determine the most appropriate next step based on your symptoms, diagnosis, anatomy, and clinical findings.
