Effective Hemorrhoid Treatment in Queens

At The Queens Gastro, we provide hemorrhoid banding treatment in Forest Hills, NY using rubber band ligation, a safe and minimally invasive procedure designed to treat internal hemorrhoids and relieve uncomfortable symptoms. Led by Daniel Reich, M.D., our practice offers personalized gastrointestinal care focused on effective treatment and long-term digestive health.

Hemorrhoids are a common condition that can cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, irritation, and pain. Rubber band ligation is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for internal hemorrhoids and can often provide lasting symptom relief without the need for extensive recovery.

What Is Rubber Band Ligation?

Rubber band ligation, also known as hemorrhoid banding, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat internal hemorrhoids. During the procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. Over time, the hemorrhoid shrinks and naturally falls off.

Rubber band ligation is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Rectal bleeding

  • Itching or irritation

  • Discomfort during bowel movements

  • Swelling caused by internal hemorrhoids

  • Persistent hemorrhoid symptoms that do not improve with conservative treatment

The procedure is typically performed in-office and does not require surgery.

Benefits of Hemorrhoid Banding

Rubber band ligation is a preferred treatment option for many patients because it offers:

  • Minimally invasive treatment

  • No surgical incisions

  • Quick in-office procedure

  • Minimal downtime

  • Effective symptom relief

  • Fast recovery for most patients

Many patients are able to return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

During treatment:

  • The procedure is performed in-office

  • No sedation is typically required

  • A small rubber band is placed around the hemorrhoid
