For many people, hemorrhoids are a "hidden affliction." The pain, bleeding during flare-ups, and concerns about traditional surgery, hospitalization, and recovery often lead to repeated delays in treatment, significantly compromising quality of life.
Against this backdrop, a minimally invasive treatment based on physical principles—hemorrhoid electrolysis—has been gradually applied in clinical practice, offering a new treatment option for hemorrhoids.
The technology of the hemorrhoid electrolysis treatment device originated in the United States and has been in clinical practice for 20 years in the U.S. and Europe.
In 2020, based on this technology, an improved and innovatively developed disposable electrode and an "imaging detection system" for the treatment process were introduced.
This technology has applied for multiple national patents, and clinical trials have been completed, achieving an efficacy rate of 98.1%.
Patient feedback has been positive, and the medical device product has been approved by the Beijing Municipal Drug Administration and is now on the market.
Treatment Principle
During the treatment, a low-intensity direct current is applied to the mucosal tissue at the base of the hemorrhoid via electrodes. The microcurrent causes electrolysis of water molecules in the tissue, generating hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions:
Hydrogen ions are converted into hydrogen gas, released as tiny bubbles;
Hydroxide ions create a local alkaline environment, causing tissue protein denaturation.
After protein denaturation, the hemorrhoid loses activity and nutrient supply, gradually shrinks, and is naturally absorbed by the body within 10 to 14 days.
Treatment Procedure
The clinical procedure typically follows these steps:
Use an anoscope with a notch to locate the hemorrhoid and secure the treatment area;
Place the electrode patch on the mucosal surface at the base of the hemorrhoid;
Activate the device and adjust the current within a range of 2 to 16 mA based on the patient's tolerance;
During treatment, bubbles are visible on the hemorrhoid surface, and the tissue gradually changes color and shrinks;
End the treatment when the hemorrhoid shrinks to less than one-third of its original volume and bubbles significantly decrease;
If multiple hemorrhoids are present, repeat the above steps.
Technical Features
Based on current clinical application information, this technology has the following features:
No Open Wound: The skin and mucosa remain intact, with no need for post-operative dressing changes;
Short Treatment Duration: A single treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes;
Short Recovery Period: Patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment without the need for hospitalization.
Scope of Application: This technology is suitable for eligible hemorrhoid patients. Specific indications should be determined by a licensed physician based on individual assessment.
