The hemorrhoid laser procedure is known as one of the modern techniques that may be used by many specialists of general and laparoscopic surgery after the failure of drugs and the usual methods of changing the quality of food and others to rid the patient of hemorrhoid.

Treatment Description
A hemorrhoid is defined as a group of swollen blood vessels (such as veins) that appear around the anus or in the inner cavity of it (external hemorrhoid) or in the lower rectum (internal hemorrhoid). Hemorrhoids are four stages, vary depending on their severity, while grade 1 and 2 symptoms are slightly discomfort and some pain during abowel movement, grade 3 and 4 hemorrhoids are often more severe and may be associated with bleeding, so the medical intervention is necessary.
Laser hemorrhoidectomy is one of the modern methods that can rid the patient of the hemorrhoid in a short time and with less pain compared to traditional hemorrhoid surgery, in addition to a shorter period of full recovery.
