Hemorrhoids are commonly seen and function to keep the anus closed.
When hemorrhoids are well, they operate similarly to minimal pads and form a tight anal seal.
These pads can also become painful, itchy, or cause bleeding when they enlarge from their typical size for any reason.
Causes of hemorrhoidal piles:
- Constipation
- Straining during the defecation process
- Sitting for a long time, especially on the toilet seat
- Pregnancy
- Childbirth
- Obesity
- Chronic cough
- anal intercourse
- Heavy lifting
- Hard exercise
- Low-fiber diet
Hemorrhoid disease is often known as hemorrhoidal piles.
it is characterized by congested blood veins under the mucosa in the anal canal.
Over 80% of people will at some point in their lives develop hemorrhoid disorder, with about 50% of people experiencing chronic hemorrhoid disease.
when its nuisance is still at a challenging level and impacting the level of activity and lifestyle, then it is time for LHP ® treatment.
Many people suffer a lot from hemorrhoidal piles because they prefer to avoid traditional surgical treatment.
Thus, LHP® offers patients the ideal option as a minimally invasive laser therapy that is specifically made to target and shrink hemorrhoidal piles.
LHP ® is a minimally invasive laser procedure that provides patients with the ideal hemorrhoidal treatment by targeting and shrinking hemorrhoidal piles.
It is a gentle, simple procedure that provides an effective alternative to traditional surgery.
How does LHP ® work?
- Anoscopy
- Hemorrhoidal piles exploration
- Laser conical fiber insertion in the center of the hemorrhoidal pile under direct vision
- irradiation of every hemorrhoidal pile from inside towards out.
- The hemorrhoidal pile gradually shrinks and gets smaller in size.
- Applying an ice pack over the targeted hemorrhoidal pile to avoid mucosal injury
Repeat the procedure with other piles.
as a result of the laser irradiation used in LHP®, Hemorrhoidal piles gradually shrink back to their original size.
In addition, LHP® stops the blood flow to the congested hemorrhoidal piles.
As a result, bleeding and pain should considerably decrease after a few days of LHP®.
Nevertheless, some individuals still have skin tags, requiring additional surgical treatment.
What are the advantages of LHP®?
Unlike surgical hemorrhoid therapy which requires longer recovery times, LHP® treats hemorrhoids without these concerns.
However, there are certain advantages to LHP® over traditional surgical hemorrhoid treatment.
- No bowel preparation is required.
- The operating time is significantly reduced.
- Fast healing, allowing just a few days to pass before returning to regular activities.
- No anal tissue was excised during LHP®
- High level of safety by avoiding harming the anal sphincter, anoderm, or mucous membrane.
- By cutting off the blood flow, LHP® prevents hemorrhoids from protruding from the anus.
What is the difference between LHP® and HeLP® (hemorrhoids laser procedure)?
- LHP® is targeting congested hemorrhoidal piles and their feeding blood vessels, while HeLP® is targeting only the feeding blood vessels.
- LHP® is designed for 3rd and 4th-degree of hemorrhoidal piles treatment, while HeLP® is designed for 2nd degree hemorrhoidal piles treatment.
- HeLP® requires doppler probe and laser fiber, while LHP® requires laser fiber only.
Can do LHP® with mucopexy?
- Yes
We can do hybrid procedure LHP® and mucopexy at the same time.
- When paired with mucopexy, LHP® has a high success rate of 88%.
It's a safe surgery that effectively controls bleeding and prolapsing hemorrhoids, with no post-operative problems.
