Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a very common malady that affect all ages. Our
Western high fat, low fiber diet in conjunction with family
predisposition, is responsible for this disease.
The advancements
in laser treatment of medical diseases has made available a
new tool in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
We have been using
laser surgery since 1985 and have accumulated a large and successful
experience with it. Pain and postoperative discomfort are minimized
with this modality.
We also offer in
office laser treatments for external hemorrhoidal disease.
Diverticulitis
Approximately 3% of the population has diverticula at the age
of 40. Seventy percent will have diverticula by the age of 70.
Most of the time, diverticula is not symptomatic; however, in
some instances infection and/or severe bleeding can be a complication
of this condition. Early education on a high fiber diet will
decrease the probabilities of progression of this malady. Serious
complications of this disease are managed medically and/or surgically.
