Hemorrhoid Treatment & Anorectal Surgery
Hemorrhoidal disease
Anorectal symptoms such as bleeding, pain, swelling, or drainage are common and treatable. Because rectal bleeding can have several causes, a thorough evaluation, often including a colonoscopy, helps make an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Campbell offers comprehensive treatment options for hemorrhoids:
- Rubber band ligation: an office treatment for internal hemorrhoids.
- Electrosurgical hemorrhoid treatment.
- Surgical hemorrhoidectomy: definitive surgical removal of hemorrhoids when needed.

Frequently asked questions
Should rectal bleeding always be checked?
Yes. Hemorrhoids are a common cause of bright red bleeding, but bleeding can also come from other conditions, including colorectal cancer. Your surgeon may recommend a colonoscopy to find the cause.
Do hemorrhoids always need a procedure?
No. Many improve with more fiber and water, not straining, and limiting time on the toilet. A procedure is considered when symptoms continue or keep coming back.
What treatment options are there?
Options range from fiber and over-the-counter care to office or outpatient procedures such as banding, and surgical removal (hemorrhoidectomy) for larger or more severe hemorrhoids. Your surgeon will recommend what fits your symptoms.
Can hemorrhoids come back after treatment?
They can. Keeping stools soft with fiber and fluids and avoiding straining helps prevent new hemorrhoids.
