How much does hemorrhoid surgery cost?

Hemorrhoid surgery is one of the most performed surgeries due to the continuous discomfort caused by anal pathology and the great relief that its solution represents.

This surgery is performed in patients who have reached stages 3 and 4 of this disease. At this point, the hemorrhoidal veins exit through the anus and cannot return inside spontaneously.

Stage 3 and 4 hemorrhoids cause continuous discomfort and pain.

Normally, when the anal disease has advanced so much, neither pharmacological treatment nor changes in lifestyle have any effect to improve the situation. In these cases, hemorrhoid surgery is the best option to definitively solve the anal situation.
