Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization, (HAE) in Cary, NC
HAE is a minimally invasive treatment for internal and external hemorrhoids. It safely blocks the blood vessels leading to the hemorrhoids; this relieves bleeding and pain symptoms.
HAE is a good alternative to more invasive surgical treatment, such as hemorrhoidectomy.
For people diagnosed with internal and/or external hemorrhoids that have caused pain and bleeding more 3 months or more, you may be a candidate for HAE.Schedule an Appointment

- Nearly painless, faster recovery and reduced risk compared to surgery
- Much less likely for hemorrhoids to come back
- About 93% of patients see improvement in hemorrhoid-related symptoms without additional treatment within one month of hemorrhoid artery embolization
