After receiving the technology transfer from the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicine, from November 2019 to now, the hospital has implemented the method of treating hemorrhoids by routine hemorrhoid injection. More than 300 patients have been effectively treated with this new treatment method; the cure rate is absolute, with no recorded cases of complications or recurrence.

Promoting the effectiveness of new treatment methods

The nature of hemorrhoids is the prolapse of blood vessels in the anal canal, causing blood to not circulate, stagnate and form hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid treatment with “Rigid endoscopic intervention - hemorrhoid sclerotherapy with PG60 5%” - the safest and most effective hemorrhoid treatment technique today; with many outstanding advantages, bringing many benefits to patients.

Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospitalis one of the pioneers in Nghe An to implement this new hemorrhoid treatment method. According to Dr. Tran Van Cuong - Department of Surgery, the hemorrhoid injection method is often used to treat internal hemorrhoids (grade 1 to grade 4), mixed hemorrhoids (grade 2 - grade 3).

The advantage of this method is that it does not involve surgery, so it does not cause bleeding or pain. The patient will be injected with medicine directly into the base of the hemorrhoid, which will gradually shrink and shrink the hemorrhoid. After the injection, the patient only needs to rest for 20 minutes before going home to work and live normally. The patient does not have to take any other medicine, so it is safe, highly effective, has no complications, has a low recurrence rate (only 2% from 2 to 5 years) and low treatment costs. The treatment regimen depends on the severity of each patient's illness.

However, the decisive factor in the effectiveness of this treatment method is the expertise of the doctors performing it. The team of doctors at Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital are well-trained, study and transfer the technique of sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids from the Ho Chi Minh City Traditional Medicine Institute - the leading institute in Traditional Medicine. Therefore, patients who are examined, treated, cared for, and follow the doctor's instructions will have the highest treatment efficiency.
