Hemorrhoids Treatment in Los Angeles
Board-certified, minimally invasive hemorrhoid care from Dr. Yosef Nasseri — most patients are treated in the office and seen the same or next day.
Expert Hemorrhoid Care Without the Fear
Hemorrhoids are among the most common reasons Los Angeles patients see Dr. Nasseri, and they are also among the most satisfying conditions to treat. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in and around the anal canal that can cause itching, bleeding, discomfort, and swelling. Although the symptoms can feel alarming, the vast majority of hemorrhoids are treated comfortably and without surgery.
Too many people live with hemorrhoids for years out of embarrassment. Dr. Nasseri and his team treat this condition every single day with discretion and compassion, and there is almost always a straightforward path to relief. Modern, office-based options mean most patients never need a scalpel.
When advanced treatment is required, Dr. Nasseri uses minimally invasive techniques that keep discomfort low and recovery short. Explore all of our colorectal services, learn about robotic surgery, or review patient guidance from the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons.
Understanding the Types of Hemorrhoids
Identifying the type of hemorrhoids you have guides the right treatment. Dr. Nasseri evaluates each patient carefully before recommending a personalized plan.
Internal Hemorrhoids
Form inside the rectum and often cause painless bleeding. They are graded by how much they protrude and usually respond very well to quick, office-based treatment.
External Hemorrhoids
Develop under the skin around the anus and can cause itching, swelling, and discomfort, especially when irritated by straining or prolonged sitting.
Thrombosed Hemorrhoids
Occur when a blood clot forms inside an external hemorrhoid, causing sudden, sharp pain and a firm lump that often benefits from prompt evaluation.
Symptoms and Common Causes
The most common symptoms of hemorrhoids include bright red bleeding during bowel movements, itching or irritation around the anus, discomfort or pain, and a tender lump near the anal opening. While these symptoms are usually caused by hemorrhoids, rectal bleeding should always be evaluated by a specialist to rule out other conditions such as fissures, polyps, or colorectal cancer.
Hemorrhoids develop when pressure increases in the veins of the lower rectum. Frequent straining, chronic constipation or diarrhea, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, obesity, and a low-fiber diet all contribute. The good news is that many cases improve with simple changes, and when they do not, effective in-office treatments are available right here in Los Angeles.
Hemorrhoid Treatment Options
Dr. Nasseri offers the full range of hemorrhoid treatments, from conservative care to advanced surgical techniques, always starting with the least invasive option that will resolve your symptoms.
Conservative Care
Fiber, hydration, topical treatments, and simple habit changes resolve many early hemorrhoids without any procedure.
Rubber Band Ligation
A quick, in-office procedure that places a tiny band at the base of an internal hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. No anesthesia and little to no downtime.
Infrared Coagulation
Gentle infrared energy shrinks smaller internal hemorrhoids in minutes, an excellent option for early-grade cases.
Sclerotherapy
A solution injected into the hemorrhoid causes it to shrink, useful for patients who prefer to avoid banding.
Hemorrhoidectomy
For severe or recurrent them, surgical removal offers a definitive cure, performed with minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain and speed recovery.
Hemorrhoidopexy
A stapled procedure that repositions prolapsing tissue and restores normal anatomy with less discomfort than traditional surgery.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your first visit is private, unhurried, and focused on getting you relief. Dr. Nasseri listens to your symptoms, performs a gentle examination, and explains exactly what is causing your this condition and how to fix it.
Before your appointment
Continue your normal diet and medications unless told otherwise, and note when symptoms started and what makes them better or worse.
During your consultation
Most evaluations take only a few minutes, and many office-based hemorrhoid treatments can be performed the same day, with no anesthesia and no downtime.
After your treatment
You will receive clear, written aftercare instructions and know exactly what to expect, which activities to resume, and how to prevent the condition from returning.
