What is a hemorrhoidectomy?
Hemorrhoidectomy is surgery to remove hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidectomy is appropriate when you have very large internal hemorrhoids or internal hemorrhoids that still cause symptoms after non-surgical treatment. Also, if you have large external hemorrhoids that cause significant discomfort and make it difficult to keep the anal area clean. Both internal and external hemorrhoids can be treated, but should be examined by your doctor first for further treatment.
