Advice centre / Treating haemorrhoids

What are the types of haemorrhoid treatment?

There are a number of treatment options for sufferers to consider, whether that be to help relieve mild to moderate symptoms during a flare-up or to have a medical treatment to remove or reduce the cause of the symptoms, the haemorrhoids themselves, thus improving the impact and severity of the associated symptoms.

Historically these medical treatments have been segmented by the progressive grade of haemorrhoid disease (1-4), as traditionally there has not been a viable single option that has treated all grades of haemorrhoids prior to the eXroid® treatment launching in the UK in 2013.
