Frequently Asked Questions
What is HemWell™?
A nonsurgical, FDA-registered treatment for internal hemorrhoids, HemWell™ uses a gentle electrical current to target the hemorrhoid tissue to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It’s an effective solution for patients experiencing rectal bleeding, itching, or discomfort from hemorrhoids.
Is HemWell™ painful?
Most patients report little to no pain during or after the HemWell™ procedure. The treatment is quick and well-tolerated. Unlike traditional hemorrhoid procedures, HemWell™ is designed to minimize discomfort both during the procedure and throughout recovery.
Is the procedure safe?
Yes, HemWell™ is a safe, FDA-registered procedure with a strong track record of success. It’s performed in the endoscopy center under anesthesia by trained gastroenterologists and requires no cutting, cauterizing, or suturing. Because it’s minimally invasive, the risk of complications is extremely low compared to surgical hemorrhoid treatments.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients find the HemWell™ procedure to be virtually painless. Most patients can resume their day immediately following the appointment.
How many HemWell™ procedures are necessary?
The number of treatments needed depends on the severity and number of hemorrhoids. While some patients see relief after just one session, others may benefit from several treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your NYGA provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and response to the procedure.
How soon can I return to my normal activities?
One of the benefits of HemWell™ is that there’s no downtime. Most patients return to work, exercise, and regular activities immediately after the procedure. Mild symptoms such as temporary rectal pressure or slight irritation may occur but typically resolve quickly without the need for medication.
