About This Treatment
What is Haemorrhoid Removal?
Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and significant discomfort. When conservative measures such as dietary changes, topical creams, or sitz baths fail to provide lasting relief, surgical removal offers a definitive solution.
A haemorrhoidectomy involves the careful surgical excision of enlarged haemorrhoidal tissue under local anaesthetic. At The One Clinic Leicester, our experienced doctors assess your case thoroughly and recommend the most appropriate procedure for your grade of haemorrhoid and individual circumstances.
Quick Facts
Haemorrhoid Removal at a Glance
Our Approach
Our Haemorrhoid Removal Approach
At The One Clinic, we follow a structured three-step approach to ensure every patient receives safe, precise, and effective haemorrhoid removal with optimal healing outcomes.
Clinical Assessment
A thorough review of your haemorrhoid grade, symptoms, and medical history. Your doctor will confirm suitability for surgical excision and explain all available options.
Surgical Excision
Under local anaesthetic, the haemorrhoidal tissue is carefully isolated and excised. The procedure is precise and designed to minimise trauma to surrounding tissue.
Wound Management & Aftercare
The wound is dressed and managed for optimal healing. You leave the clinic the same day with a clear aftercare plan and scheduled follow-up appointments.
After Your Procedure
You leave the clinic the same day with a managed wound plan and clear aftercare instructions. Most patients experience immediate symptom relief, with complete healing occurring over 3,6 weeks with proper aftercare and follow-up support.
What to Expect
Your Treatment Journey
Consultation
A detailed assessment of your haemorrhoids, symptoms, and overall health. Your doctor discusses the procedure, expected outcomes, and answers all your questions.
Pre-op Assessment
Any necessary pre-operative checks are completed. You receive clear instructions on how to prepare for procedure day, including dietary and medication guidance.
Procedure Day
The haemorrhoidectomy is performed under local anaesthetic in our clinic. Most procedures take up to 60 minutes and you go home the same day.
Recovery & Review
Full recovery typically takes 3,6 weeks. Your doctor schedules follow-up visits to monitor healing, manage any discomfort, and confirm successful outcomes.

Is This Right for You?
Who is Suitable for Haemorrhoid Removal?
Haemorrhoid removal is typically suitable for:
- Adults with Grade II,IV haemorrhoids causing persistent symptoms
- Patients who have tried conservative treatment without lasting relief
- Those experiencing regular rectal bleeding, prolapse, or significant pain
- Anyone whose haemorrhoids are affecting daily comfort and quality of life
- Patients seeking a definitive, long-term solution
Surgery may not be immediately suitable if you have:
- Pregnancy (surgery deferred until after delivery)
- Patients on blood thinners without specialist review
- Severe heart or liver disease (may require specialist clearance)
- Grade I haemorrhoids responsive to dietary and lifestyle changes
If you are unsure whether you are suitable, book a consultation and our doctor will assess your case in full and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
How Does Haemorrhoid Removal Work?
A haemorrhoidectomy surgically excises the enlarged vascular tissue responsible for your symptoms. Under local anaesthetic, the targeted haemorrhoid is carefully isolated and removed. The surrounding tissue is preserved to maintain normal anal function, and the wound is managed to promote swift, clean healing.
For suitable patients with lower-grade haemorrhoids, alternatives such as rubber band ligation or phenol injection sclerotherapy may be offered. Unlike creams or suppositories that only mask symptoms, surgical excision removes the root cause, delivering definitive and long-lasting results. During your consultation, your doctor will determine which approach is best for your individual case.
Procedures Offered at The One Clinic
- Haemorrhoidectomy (surgical excision)
- Rubber band ligation
- Phenol injection sclerotherapy
- Grade II,IV internal haemorrhoids
- External haemorrhoids (selected cases)
- Thrombosed haemorrhoids
Post-Treatment
Results, Aftercare & Side Effects
What to Expect After Surgery
Most patients notice immediate relief from prolapse and the most severe symptoms. Mild soreness and swelling are normal for the first 1,2 weeks. Complete wound healing and full comfort typically return within 3,6 weeks.
Results are long-lasting and often permanent. Maintaining a high-fibre diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining helps prevent future haemorrhoids.
Possible Side Effects
Haemorrhoidectomy is a safe, well-established procedure. Most patients experience only temporary and manageable effects:
- Mild pain or soreness at the wound site
- Some swelling and minor bleeding initially
- Temporary difficulty or discomfort with bowel movements
Rare complications such as infection or anal narrowing will be fully explained during your pre-operative consultation. Our team provides close follow-up care.
Aftercare Tips
- Keep the area clean and dry at all times
- Use sitz baths to soothe discomfort after bowel movements
- Eat a high-fibre diet to ease and soften bowel movements
- Avoid heavy lifting, straining, or strenuous exercise
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for wound checks
