Infrared Coagulation (IRC)
IT’S TIME TO SIT DOWN AND BE COMFORTABLE
For more than 20 years, a majority of
patients have chosen IRC over other
hemorrhoid treatments.
HELP IS AVAILABLE
Having hemorrhoids can be an embarrassing and painful experience and discussing it with your physician may be uncomfortable but it’s important to know it is a medical condition that affects 80% of Americans at some point in their life. Don’t worry, relief is on its way. Southgate Surgery Center has the technology and surgeon who can provide you with immediate relief from the discomfort associated with hemorrhoids using IRC. IRC is a non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment that has been performed since 1984 and is safe, effective and virtually painless.
ABOUT INFRARED COAGULATION (IRC)
A small probe contacts the area above the hemorrhoid. The area is quickly exposed to a burst of infrared light. This cuts off the blood supply to the veins supporting the internal hemorrhoid causing it to shrink and recede. Because this procedure is performed in an area that is lacking pain-sensing nerves, there is no pain. IRC has provided lasting relief for millions of patients.
