HemWell Can
Help
At HemWell, we recognized the need for a more compassionate and advanced approach in a clinical environment that would completely resolve the challenges faced by individuals suffering from hemorrhoids.
Hemwellectomy?
Hemwellectomy is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a very low-energy direct electrical current, similar in energy to that of a pacemaker. It is an effective procedure for all grades of hemorrhoids.
The Hemwellectomy induces vasospasm and thrombosis in the hemorrhoid’s feeder arteries, cutting off its blood supply and causing the hemorrhoids to shrink. Because the Hemwellectomy uses such low electrical energy, it does not produce minimal tissue damage, which is why it is so safe for the patient.

Hemwellectomy is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a very low-energy direct electrical current, similar in energy to that of a pacemaker. It is an effective procedure for all grades of hemorrhoids.
The Hemwellectomy induces vasospasm and thrombosis in the hemorrhoid’s feeder arteries, cutting off its blood supply while the veins remain open which causes the hemorrhoids to shrink. Because the Hemwellectomy uses such low electrical energy, it produces minimal tissue damage, making it very safe with minimal pain for our patients.

Low-Energy Electrical Current
Unlike traditional methods which use heat, the Hemwellectomy involves applying a very low-level, non-thermal electrical current. This current is mild, producing minimal damage to the surrounding tissues.
Inducing Vasospasm & Thrombosis
BioChemical Reactions
The application of a low-energy direct electrical current also produces a nonthermal biochemical reaction within the body of the hemorrhoid. One key reaction is the generation of hydrogen gas due to the electrolysis of water present in the blood. Saponification, a second reaction, can be seen by your doctor performing the procedure as soap bubbles filled with hydrogen gas leave the hemorrhoid. Saponification is a result of the blood’s triglycerides interacting with the products of electrolysis.
Resulting Tissue Response
The combined effect of restricted blood flow and localized clotting with normal functioning veins leads to an immediate reduction in the hemorrhoid size and symptoms. Since the procedure is non-thermal and non-destructive to other tissue, it typically results in minimal to no pain with a quicker recovery compared to all other methods.
The HemWell Difference
This approach is distinctly beneficial because it minimizes pain, avoids extensive tissue damage, and allows for a rapid return to normal activities, all while effectively treating the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Inducing Vasospasm and Thrombosis
The electrical current, like the current of a pacemaker, causes smooth muscle contraction within the wall of the hemorrhoid’s feeder blood vessels—instantly reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoid, followed by thrombosis (blood clotting), which permanently reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoid.

Proven Success
Initial Consultation
Medical Review
Your doctor will carefully go over your medical history and discuss your symptoms to understand your situation fully.
Diagnostic Exams
A physical exam, anoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy is needed to diagnose and get a clear view of your hemorrhoid’s condition and severity.
Personalized Care Plan
Your doctor will design a plan just for you, ensuring the best approach to meet your specific needs.
The Procedure
Preparation
Your medical providers will make sure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure, using light sedation, similar to that used during a colonoscopy.
The Hemwellectomy
This procedure uses a gentle electrical current to safely cut off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid, helping it to shrink.
Comfortable Positioning: You’ll be positioned in a way that ensures your comfort, usually lying on your side.
Gentle Insertion: While you are sleeping, a small instrument called an anoscope will be used to view the area.
Precise Application: The device targets the hemorrhoid with a precise current, initiating treatment.
Quick Completion: The entire process typically takes just a few minutes, rarely more than 20 minutes.
After Your Procedure
Immediate Care
Observation: Your medical provider will keep an eye on you after the procedure to ensure everything is starting off well.
Managing Comfort: It’s normal to have a little discomfort, but this is usually minor. over-the-counter pain relief or a warm bath is needed in less than 1 in 30 patients.
Going Home: Soon after the procedure, all patients return home.
Recovery and Beyond
Quick Recovery: You can usually get back to your usual activities the very next day, though it is recommended not to engage in vigorous activity for 24-48 hours.
Follow-Up Visits: Your physician will schedule a few check-ups to monitor your healing and confirm the procedure’s success.
Stool Softeners: Stool softeners may be recommended by your physician. Minor bleeding following a bowel movement for a few days is not uncommon.
Continued Improvement: While the hemorrhoid shrinks immediately it will continue to shrink for up to 7-10 days following the Hemwellectomy.
Long-Term Wellness
Healthy Habits
Your physician will advise you on diet and lifestyle tweaks to help prevent recurrence of your hemorrhoids. For example, stay hydrated and avoid long periods of sitting or straining.
