Haemorrhoid injections are a quick, effective and non-surgical way to treat piles. At Northway Clinic, our expert team, led by Professor Fahed Youssef, provides safe and confidential care to help reduce swollen veins and ease symptoms such as bleeding or irritation.
What are haemorrhoid injections?
Haemorrhoid injections, also known as sclerotherapy, offer a simple way to treat haemorrhoids without the need for surgery. During the procedure, a small amount of a solution called phenol is gently injected into the affected vein. This causes the vein to shrink and gradually be reabsorbed by the body.
This treatment is most effective for smaller haemorrhoids that cause symptoms such as bleeding, itching or discomfort. Because it’s carried out under local anaesthetic in our outpatient clinic, you’ll be awake but should remain completely comfortable throughout.
Many people choose injections because they’re quick and straightforward and allow you to return to your normal activities soon afterwards. Although results aren’t immediate, most patients notice an improvement within four to six weeks. In some cases, more than one injection may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Your haemorrhoid injection journey with Northway Clinic
From the moment you get in touch, we’ll be here to guide you through the process with care and understanding. Your journey begins with a consultation, where your consultant will take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your symptoms and confirm whether injections are the most suitable treatment for you.
We’ll explain the procedure clearly, answer any questions and ensure you feel fully at ease before moving forward. You’ll also receive written information so you know exactly what to expect before, during and after your treatment.
What happens during my haemorrhoid injection treatment?
Haemorrhoid injections are quick, simple and designed with your comfort in mind. Once you’re settled, a local anaesthetic is applied to keep the area numb. Your doctor will then use a very fine needle to carefully inject a small amount of phenol solution into the haemorrhoid, encouraging it to shrink and be absorbed by your body.
The procedure itself usually only takes a few minutes. You’ll be awake throughout but should remain completely comfortable. Afterwards, we’ll invite you to sit and rest for a short while before you head home.
While results aren’t immediate, the treatment begins working straight away, and most people notice improvement within four to six weeks.
After your haemorrhoid injection treatment and recovery
Most people recover quickly after injections and are able to return to their usual activities the same day or the following day. It’s common to feel a little tender or notice some light bleeding in the days afterwards, but this usually settles with simple pain relief such as paracetamol.
We recommend taking things easy for the rest of the day and avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours. Our team will give you tailored aftercare advice so you feel confident about supporting your recovery at home.
Complications are uncommon, but if you notice anything unusual, such as severe pain, fever or heavy bleeding, it’s important to seek immediate medical care. We’ll also arrange a follow-up appointment within a few weeks to check on your progress and make sure you’re healing well.
