What Are Internal Hemorrhoids and How Do They Develop?
Internal hemorrhoids form inside the rectal canal when vascular tissue becomes enlarged due to increased pressure over time. Chronic constipation, straining, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, and a sedentary lifestyle can all contribute. Because they form above the nerve line inside the canal, they are often painless early on. Common signs include bright red rectal bleeding, a feeling of fullness or pressure, and incomplete evacuation.
Internal hemorrhoids are graded on a four-level scale. Grade 1 involves enlarged vessels without prolapse. Grade 2 may prolapse during a bowel movement but retracts on its own. Grade 3 may require manual replacement, while Grade 4 hemorrhoids remain prolapsed. Knowing the grade helps guide the most appropriate course of care.
Can Internal Hemorrhoids Be Treated Without Surgery?
Yes. Most internal hemorrhoids can be addressed with non-surgical methods when identified early. The Oregon Hemorrhoid Clinic serves patients from Vancouver, WA, with options that avoid the downtime and discomfort of traditional surgery.
The Keesey Technique (Hemorrhoidolysis)
The Keesey Technique is an electrotherapy-based approach to internal hemorrhoid treatment. A negative galvanic electrical current is delivered to the hemorrhoidal tissue, causing gradual, painless electrochemical reduction. The clinic is the only provider of this method in the United States. It has been used effectively for over 40 years and is authorized by both the Oregon State Chiropractic Board of Examiners and the Naturopathic Board of Examiners.
Most patients return to regular activities the same day. Mild discomfort may occur during the exam or for a few hours afterward, but the treatment itself is designed to be painless.
Non-Surgical Hemorrhoid Care Options
The clinic offers a range of non-surgical hemorrhoid treatments tailored to the patient's grade, symptoms, and health history. Each patient is evaluated individually to determine the most effective approach.
