List of terms related to Hemorrhoidolysis/Galvanic Electrotherapy

Hemorrhoidolysis/Galvanic Electrotherapy is a treatment for hemorrhoids that consists of the application of a small probe (electrode) to each hemorrhoid using manual pressure under direct vision (commonly known as the "Ultroid" method). This causes a gentle electrolysis that results in progressive, complete and permanent shrinkage of the hemorrhoid tissue. More than one hemorrhoid site may be treated at each visit with the actual treatment lasting only a few minutes. The average hemorrhoid case will require 3 treatments for symptomatic resolution. However, many sufferers have more than one hemorrhoid so additional treatments may be required.
