When doctors get hemorrhoids

By Dr. David Gutman, Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists

Before seeking treatment in my office, many of my patients first visited their primary care doctor to find relief from hemorrhoids. They were usually prescribed a steroid cream or suppository, but when that failed to help, they were told that surgery was the only other option.

But what happens when doctors get hemorrhoids? Do they follow the same outdated advice they give their patients and opt for surgery, or do they do more research to find better options? They know that surgery is a bad option. It has a long, painful recovery, and permanent complications can occur.

It turns out that when their own butts are on the line, many doctors dig deeper. In fact, over the years I have treated hundreds of local doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Even though many of them work at the major big-name hospital systems in our area, they still chose to see me rather than a surgeon at their own hospital system.

That’s because they’ve learned I offer two easy, safe, and effective non-surgical procedures designed to safely eliminate hemorrhoids. One reduces the blood flow that feeds the hemorrhoids, reducing inflammation and causing them to shrink. The other is better suited to removing larger hemorrhoids. Both take just a few seconds to do. 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. Consultations are free of charge, and our procedures are covered by insurance.
