Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital deploys painless hemorrhoid treatment technique

Hemorrhoid treatment with new technique

Mr. Ho Trong Thien, 45 years old, Quynh Luong, Quynh Luu, has suffered from hemorrhoids since he was young. Although the disease causes discomfort, pain and greatly affects his daily life, due to poor health, Mr. Thien could not treat it with intervention methods; he had to "live with" the disease for more than 20 years.

On this occasion, he was examined and consulted by experts from the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicine in collaboration with Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital on hemorrhoid treatment using "Rigid endoscopy - PG60 5% sclerotherapy of hemorrhoids" - the safest and most effective hemorrhoid treatment technique today; with many outstanding advantages, bringing many benefits to patients.

Mr. Thien said that a team of experts and doctors from Ho Chi Minh City and Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital performed a sclerotherapy procedure to treat hemorrhoids. The procedure was performed in just 5 minutes, was less painful, did not cause bleeding, and after 30 minutes of rest, I was able to walk again. According to the doctor's instructions, I will continue to receive injections twice a week, with about 10 injections; so that the hemorrhoids will shrink and heal completely.

Mr. Thien is one of 28 patients examined and prescribed treatment with this new method, during the examination and treatment ofHo Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicinein collaboration with Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital, took place on November 18 and 19.

According to Doctor CKII Nguyen Tuan Quyen - Head of General Surgery Department, Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicine,The method of treating hemorrhoids by injecting sclerosing agents into hemorrhoids (PG60) has been effectively applied by the Institute in treatment for over 40 years, successfully treating thousands of patients each year. The advantage of this method is that it does not involve surgery, so it does not cause bleeding or pain to the patient. Patients do not have to take any other medications, so it is safe, highly effective, has no complications and low treatment costs. The treatment regimen depends on the severity of each patient's illness.

Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital has sent doctors to study directly at the Institute. This is a method that does not require much modern equipment, infection control is the most important requirement. Regarding human and equipment factors, Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital is currently fully equipped to implement this technique.

On this occasion, we inspected and accepted the technique implemented at the hospital, and at the same time carried out the transfer. In the coming time, we will continue to support and accompany the hospital to effectively deploy this new technique in treatment.
