How many IRC treatments are required?
Dr. Mathis treats hemorrhoids according to medical necessity as informed by recommendations in the medical literature. In her practice Dr. Mathis typically administers IRC treatments at four week intervals until the symptoms are relieved. More than one hemorrhoid may be treated during a treatment. The average number of infrared coagulation treatments per patient by Dr. Mathis is two to three. There is no minimum number of treatments required. The number of infrared coagulation (IRC) treatments is less if the patient seeks treatment early in the course of the disease. However, patients have been successfully treated with IRC by Dr. Mathis who have had hemorrhoid symptoms for over fifty years.
