Ligation of hemorrhoids, commonly referred to as rubber band ligation, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat internal hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, and internal hemorrhoids are located inside the rectum. Rubber band ligation is specifically designed for treating symptomatic internal hemorrhoids that cause discomfort, bleeding, or prolapse (protrusion from the anus). During this procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. This causes the hemorrhoid to shrink and eventually fall off, typically within a few days. The primary causes of hemorrhoids include increased pressure on the veins in the rectal and anal area, often due to straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation or diarrhea, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, and obesity. Diets low in fiber and a lack of physical activity can also contribute to the development of hemorrhoids. Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids that might warrant ligation include painless rectal bleeding during bowel movements, noticeable prolapse, and discomfort or itching in the anal area. In more severe cases, internal hemorrhoids can protrude outside the anus and may need to be manually pushed back in, which can be uncomfortable and distressing for the patient. Complications from ligation of hemorrhoids are generally rare but can occur. These may include pain, especially if the rubber band is placed too close to the sensitive area below the dentate line, where there are more nerve endings. Other possible complications include bleeding, which might occur several days after the procedure as the hemorrhoid falls off, infection, and, in rare cases, urinary retention or thrombosed external hemorrhoids. There is also a risk of recurrence, meaning the hemorrhoids can return, particularly if the underlying causes, such as constipation or straining, are not addressed.
Patients are usually advised to avoid heavy lifting, straining during bowel movements, and prolonged sitting immediately following the procedure. Increasing dietary fiber intake, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular physical activity can help prevent recurrence and promote overall bowel health. Rubber band ligation is a safe, effective, and commonly performed procedure that can provide significant relief from the symptoms of internal hemorrhoids with minimal downtime and discomfort.
