About this Procedure What's Involved Preparing for Surgery Find A Specialist

Surgery may be recommended to treat haemorrhoids that are causing pain, bleeding, or discomfort and are not amenable to other treatment options such as haemorrhoidal banding. 

Several surgical techniques are available, depending on the type, size, and severity of the haemorrhoids, and your individual symptoms.

Surgical treatment may be recommended if: 

  • haemorrhoids are large or persist despite non-surgical treatments 

  • you experience frequent bleeding, pain, or prolapse  

  • other treatments, have not been effective 

  • complications such as ulceration develop 

Your surgeon will help decide if surgery is appropriate and which method is most suitable.
