Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment for bleeding haemorrhoids. An interventional radiologist blocks the small arteries supplying the haemorrhoids, reducing blood flow so they shrink and symptoms improve — without surgical cuts.
Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment for bleeding haemorrhoids. An interventional radiologist blocks the small arteries supplying the haemorrhoids, reducing blood flow so they shrink and symptoms improve without surgical cuts. Similar to Uterine Fibroid Embolization and Varicocele Embolization, HAE uses the same proven embolization technique to treat vascular conditions without surgery.
If you experience pelvic heaviness or pressure alongside these symptoms, it may also be worth discussing Pelvic Congestion Syndrome with our team, as both conditions can sometimes present together.
Much like patients who seek non-surgical alternatives for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or Peripheral Vascular Disease, HAE is ideal for patients who want effective relief while avoiding the risks of conventional surgery. A clinical evaluation is needed to confirm eligibility.

I was facing severe fibroid symptoms that were affecting my daily life. After undergoing Uterine Fibroid Embolization, my condition improved remarkably without surgery. The procedure was comfortable, and recovery was very quick. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism of the medical team.

I had been dealing with discomfort due to varicocele for a long time. The embolization procedure was simple and minimally invasive, and I experienced relief within a short period. The doctors explained everything clearly and made the entire process stress-free. Highly satisfied with the results.
I was worried about thyroid treatment options until I learned about Radiofrequency Ablation. The procedure was safe, painless, and required no surgery. My symptoms improved significantly, and recovery was smooth. I highly recommend this treatment and the medical team.
My leg pain and visible veins were getting worse, but Varicose Vein Ablation completely changed my condition. The treatment was quick, and I was able to walk normally the same day. Excellent experience and very professional medical care.
HAE is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so you remain comfortable throughout. Most patients experience only mild discomfort after the procedure, which is significantly less than post-surgical pain.
The procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 1–3 days. There are no surgical cuts, so recovery is much faster compared to traditional haemorrhoid surgery.
HAE provides long-term symptom relief for most patients. However, recurrence can happen if underlying causes like chronic constipation are not addressed. Our team guides you on lifestyle changes to reduce this risk.
No. HAE requires only local anesthesia with sedation not general anesthesia making it a safer option for patients with higher surgical risk.
Traditional surgery involves cuts, stitches, and longer recovery. HAE is incision-free, performed through a tiny puncture in the wrist or groin, with minimal downtime and less post-procedure pain.
HAE is performed by our specialist Interventional Radiologists who are trained in image-guided, minimally invasive procedures the same experts who perform Varicose Vein Ablation and other advanced vascular treatments.
