What Is Hemorrhoid (Anal) Banding?

Hemorrhoid banding—medically referred to as rubber band ligation—is a common treatment for internal hemorrhoids, which form inside the rectum and are not visible externally.

During the procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid. This band cuts off blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue, causing it to shrink and fall off naturally within several days. Once the hemorrhoid detaches, the area heals, reducing symptoms and preventing recurrence.

This technique treats the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support bowel, bladder, and sexual function. When these muscles become weakened, overactive, or uncoordinated, patients may experience:

Symptoms Treated With Anal Banding

  • Hemorrhoid banding in Arizona is most effective for patients experiencing:
  • Rectal bleeding during bowel movements
  • Internal hemorrhoids that prolapse or bulge
  • Persistent irritation or discomfort
  • Pressure or fullness in the rectum
  • Symptoms that do not improve with creams or lifestyle changes

Because internal hemorrhoids often cause little to no pain, many patients delay treatment until symptoms worsen. Banding allows for early, effective intervention.
