March 2016The hemorrhoid mind gameYour mind is a powerful thing. It can psych you up for, or out of, virtually any situation. Sometimes our minds create a set of circumstances that are far worse than any reality, and that's especially true for hemorrhoid sufferers.Most of my patients tell me that before they mustered the courage to seek relief from the pain, burning, itch and bleeding of their hemorrhoids, they'd already imagined the experience to an embarrassing one.But the other common theme among patients is that they're amazed by how quick and easy the exam and treatment really are.During your visit, you'll remain fully clothed from the waist up, with a pair of disposable shorts with a small flap in the back to cover you on the bottom. The exam and treatment take just a few minutes and are performed while you lay comfortably on your side. A medical assistant is always present in the room when I examine female patients.The biggest hurdle to overcome right now is the one your mind has placed in front of you. A simple change in thinking can have you quickly and painlessly on your way to enjoying life again-hemorrhoid free.Here's how I can help you, right now:Infrared CoagulationI use a high-intensity infrared light, similar to a laser, to reduce the blood flow and inflammation, addressing the problem at its source.CRH O' Regan MethodThis method allows me to apply gentle suction to the redundant tissue and easily place an elastic band to remove larger hemorrhoids.Both of these treatments take only a few seconds to do, and since they are performed in an area with no nerve endings, they can be administered right in the comfort of my office without anesthesia. There is virtually no pain, no prep needed, there are no major restrictions, and you don't have to take time off of work.As always, our consultations are free of charge and our procedures are covered by insurance. I've helped thousands of people find relief from hemorrhoids, and I can help you, too.Download the original Mimi newspaper article here.
