Knowledge Base: The Treatment
How does the eXroid electrotherapy treatment work?
The treatment itself is very simple and has been clinically researched for over 150 years, with advances in medical technology now making it a mainstream practice.
A proctoscope is inserted to identify and isolate the base of the haemorrhoids present. The treatment is carried out above the dentate line, meaning no anaesthetic is needed. It is fully ambulatory, requiring no bowel-prep and can therefore be carried out in an out-patient clinic environment, which is one of the main reasons our treatment is considered low risk.
The device generates a small current of up to 16mAmp (feels only slightly uncomfortable, not painful) which stimulates a chemical reaction in the haemorrhoid, creating an excess of alkali which accumulates to seal off the feeding varicose blood vessel.
This results in the haemorrhoid being starved of its blood supply and it shrinks accordingly. Sometimes it may take more than one treatment to complete the process where the blood vessels are fully sealed and the haemorrhoid completely disappears. The effect of the treatment continues to work over the following 4 weeks, at which point a follow up call or consultation with the patient is recommended to discuss symptom changes and to see if any further treatment might be required.

Some Common Reasons for Needing Further Treatments
For the first time in the study of haemorrhoids, eXroid has been able to help explain why some patients require further treatments, due to our unique patient pathway, meaning we are able to document changes in the haemorrhoids and their symptoms with each treatment. For example, we know that in some patients following a treatment, a new haemorrhoid appears adjacent to the one treated; in others a large haemorrhoid can split into two smaller ones either side of the one treated. These are not predictable events, but ones we have observed in some of our patients.
With some large and broad-based haemorrhoids, these will need more than one treatment to shut off all the key blood vessels feeding into their specific haemorrhoid enough to resolve their symptoms, and can usually be predicted at the time of assessment and treatment by the doctor.
The Benefits of eXroid® Haemorrhoid Treatment
The majority of eXroid patients say that this straightforward procedure incurs minimal or no discomfort and 96% of patients reported returning to their normal activities the same or next day.
The treatment is also unique as it:
1. Treats all four grades of internal Haemorrhoids
2. Is low risk and fully ambulatory, i.e., patients can walk-in, walk-out with no bowel prep and no anaesthesia.
3. Is highly convenient, being performed along with a consultation and examination within an hour-long appointment.
