Painless rectal bleeding (i.e., Grade I and Grade II Internal hemorrhoids) can be effectively treated with hemorrhoid energy treatment (HET). Our study has demonstrated that the procedure is safe, well tolerated and clinically effective for most patients.
There has been limited treatment for internal hemorrhoids, hence this manuscript is intended to add real-world clinical data to the literature.
To educate readers with clinical data regarding treatment of bleeding internal hemorrhoids with the help of HET system.
This research study was a prospective cohort design.
The majority of patients reported complete resolution and/or improvement in bleeding resulting from internal hemorrhoids at 3-mo post-procedure.
HET system can make a significant impact in treatment of bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
Further research should be performed to expand upon our findings.
