About this service
Sclerosing injection treatment for haemorrhoids in Windhoek is a non-surgical procedure that injects a solution into internal haemorrhoids to shrink them, done as a quick day procedure. It is often used for smaller or early-stage internal piles causing bleeding or discomfort, as an alternative to surgery. The injection irritates and closes off the blood supply to the haemorrhoid tissue, allowing it to shrink over time.
Eastgate Clinic offers sclerosing injection treatment in our on-site day theatre for patients looking for a straightforward, minimally invasive option. If you have questions about sclerosing injection for haemorrhoids in Windhoek, our team at Eastgate Clinic is happy to talk you through what to expect and how to prepare.
