Hemorrhoids Removal Tulsa
A Modern Approach to Hemorrhoid Treatment
Hemorrhoids can cause bleeding, itching, swelling, and discomfort that interfere with your daily life. If topical creams, fiber supplements, or rubber band ligation haven’t provided lasting relief, surgery isn’t your only option.
At Apex Vascular & Interventional Physicians in Tulsa, our hemorrhoid specialists offer a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment called hemorrhoid embolization — a non-surgical solution that targets the blood vessels feeding your hemorrhoids so they shrink and symptoms fade. This innovative approach provides real, lasting relief — without cutting, stitches, or lengthy recovery.
What Is Hemorrhoid Embolization?
Hemorrhoid embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that resolves the bleeding and discomfort of hemorrhoids. It is performed by an interventional physician who is a hemorrhoids specialist in our state-of-the-art outpatient vascular lab. During the treatment, a tiny catheter is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and guided using real-time imaging to the arteries that supply the hemorrhoidal tissue. Once in position, the physician releases microscopic embolic particles to gently reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to gradually improve.
The procedure typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with light sedation. Because it’s minimally invasive and leaves no rectal wounds, patients can return home the same day and usually resume normal activities within about a week.

Frequently Asked Questions About HAE
Can you heal hemorrhoids without surgery?
Yes — many hemorrhoids can be healed without surgery. Mild cases often improve with simple measures like increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, avoiding straining, and using over-the-counter creams or sitz baths to ease irritation.
For more persistent or advanced hemorrhoids, minimally invasive procedures such as hemorrhoid embolization can provide long-term relief without the need for traditional surgery. This outpatient treatment safely reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoids, helping them shrink and symptoms resolve — all without cutting, stitches, or a long recovery.
How effective is hemorrhoid embolization?
The procedure is typically painless. You may feel mild pelvic pressure or discomfort for a day or two afterward, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Is hemorrhoid embolization painful?
The procedure is typically painless. You may feel mild pelvic pressure or discomfort for a day or two afterward, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Will my hemorrhoids come back?
Recurrence is uncommon since embolization cuts off the hemorrhoid’s blood supply. Maintaining healthy bowel habits — including hydration, fiber intake, and avoiding straining — helps prevent new hemorrhoids from forming.
How is hemorrhoid embolization different from traditional surgery?
Unlike hemorrhoidectomy, which removes tissue, embolization treats the underlying blood vessels that cause hemorrhoids to swell. This means no cutting, no rectal wounds, and a much faster, easier recovery.
