In the News: Augusta Vascular Center’s Dr. Blair Discusses Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization

During an appearance on "The Dish", Dr. William Blair discusses the causes and warning signs of hemorrhoids and how a hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) procedure at Augusta Vascular Center can help relieve pain and discomfort.

What is HAE?

This minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure offers long-lasting relief from painful hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding. Up to 93% of patients may see improvement within one month.

Other benefits of HAE include:

  • Minimally invasive—no incision or scarring
  • Requires only conscious sedation, so you can go home the same day
  • Requires minimal recovery time at home
  • Provides a reduced risk of infection
  • Makes it less likely that hemorrhoids will return

If you’re dealing with painful hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding, HAE may be the answer.
