Pain Management, Arthritis Treatment | Manahawkin, NJ

If you’re struggling with chronic hemorrhoids, invasive surgery doesn’t have to be your only option. At Advanced Radiology Solutions in Manahawkin, NJ, we offer hemorrhoid embolization — a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment for chronic hemorrhoids. This minimally invasive procedure effectively reduces hemorrhoid symptoms by targeting and blocking the blood flow to affected veins. With no incisions and minimal discomfort, patients can experience long-term relief and a fast recovery time.

This procedure is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic hemorrhoid pain, bleeding or swelling, particularly those who have not found relief through medications, creams or lifestyle changes. It’s also a great option for those seeking a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime.

To see if hemorrhoid embolization is right for you, call 732-608-2644 today.

Hemorrhoid embolization is a proven procedure with fast and effective results. Here is how the process works:

A small catheter is inserted into the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids.
A specialized material is injected to block these vessels, cutting off the blood flow.
Over time, the hemorrhoids shrink, relieving symptoms and improving comfort.

Many patients return to normal activities in just 1-2 days. Don't let hemorrhoid discomfort interfere with your life. Contact Advanced Radiology Solutions in Manahawkin, NJ, today to learn more about how hemorrhoid embolization can help you find lasting relief.

Feature	Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)	Traditional Surgery (Hemorrhoidectomy / Stapled / HAL / RBL)
Pain & Comfort	✅ Minimal pain — No incisions or sutures; most patients report only mild discomfort.	❌ Often moderate to severe pain post-procedure, especially after hemorrhoidectomy.
Recovery Time	✅ Quick recovery — Most return to normal activities within 1–3 days.	❌ Recovery may take 2–4 weeks, sometimes longer for surgical options.
Anesthesia Needs	✅ Performed under local anesthesia with light sedation.	❌ Usually requires general or spinal anesthesia.
Procedure Type	✅ Completely minimally invasive — No cutting or removal of tissue.	❌ Surgical or excisional — involves cutting and suturing around the anus.
Bleeding Control	✅ Excellent control of rectal bleeding — direct arterial blockage of hemorrhoidal blood flow.	⚠️ Good control, but often achieved with tissue removal or ligation (more invasive).
Preserves Anal Anatomy	✅ No damage to anal sphincter or tissue — anatomy fully preserved.	❌ Possible scarring or changes to anal canal; risk (though low) of stenosis or incontinence.
Cosmetic / Comfort Benefits	✅ No external wounds, dressings, or sutures.	❌ Open wounds require care; possible swelling and discomfort.
Hospital Stay	✅ Outpatient procedure — typically discharged same day.	❌ May require hospital stay or longer recovery in facility.
Return to Work / Daily Life	✅ Return to normal routine within days.	❌ Restricted activity for 1–2 weeks or longer depending on pain.
Ideal for High-Risk or Anticoagulated Patients	✅ Excellent option — minimal bleeding risk; can often be performed without stopping blood thinners.	❌ Higher bleeding risk; often requires stopping anticoagulants pre-surgery.
Repeatability	✅ Can be repeated safely if symptoms recur.	⚠️ Repeat surgical interventions carry higher risk of scarring and complications.
Postoperative Complications	✅ Very low — rare infection or non-target embolization.	❌ Higher risk — infection, urinary retention, wound issues, or significant bleeding.
Overall Patient Satisfaction	✅ High satisfaction in studies due to comfort and quick return to life.	⚠️ Satisfaction varies — limited by pain and downtime.
