Yes, absolutely and there’s no need to be embarrassed if your piles are actively bleeding. In fact, stopping rectal bleeding is one of the primary reasons colorectal surgeons recommend the Rafaelo procedure.
Here is why it is so effective for bleeding piles:
- Instant Coagulation: The radiofrequency energy doesn’t just shrink the tissue; it uses controlled thermal heat to instantly coagulate and seal the blood vessels supplying the haemorrhoid. This acts like an internal switch, cutting off the source of the bleeding during the treatment.
- Targets the Root Cause: Bleeding happens when the fragile, engorged walls of internal piles (usually Grade II or III) are stretched and torn during bowel movements. By shrinking these vessels back to their normal size, Rafaelo prevents them from protruding and tearing.
- High Success Rate: Because it targets the internal vascular cushions directly, patients typically see a complete cessation of their regular bleeding symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks post-procedure as the area fully heals.
