About This Treatment
Infrared Coagulation (IRC) is a non-surgical, office-based procedure for treating early-stage internal piles. A small infrared probe is applied above the pile mass for about one second, delivering a precise burst of infrared light that creates a small burn, cutting off blood flow to the hemorrhoid, which then shrinks over the following weeks.
IRC is one of the most comfortable office procedures for piles — no general anesthesia, no hospital admission, and patients can return to work the same day. It is best suited for Grade 1 and Grade 2 bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
