Snyder Hemband is the system which allows a physician to place a gentle medical rubber band safely around the base of hemorrhoids. The soft rubber band generates the compression around the hemorrhoids reducing the blood supply which causes it to shrink and eventually fall off. It is a painless procedure with little discomfort occasionally. The banding is done above the dentate line, a section of rectum with a very low number of pain-sensitive nerves making the procedure painless. The rubber band is placed around the hemorrhoid in less than a minute.
Maintain regularity of bowel movements and prevent constipation by following a diet as recommended by your physician. To promote better healing and stop hemorrhoids from forming again, it is vital that you keep your stool soft. Avoid straining during a bowel movement.
Follow your doctor’s directions. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water is important. A high-fiber diet that includes vegetables also is key. Your physician may suggest regular use of fiber supplements, and remember: You must drink plenty of fluids when you use fiber supplements.
After Snyder HemBand treatment, refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for the next 2-3 days. It’s also important to avoid sitting for long periods of time - you should stand up and walk every couple of hours. Maintain a regular exercise routine and a healthy weight to help avoid recurrence of hemorrhoids.
Continue to take your regular medications as prescribed. Check with your physician about medications that could cause constipation or diarrhea. Unless your doctor directs you to do so, do not insert medication inside your rectum.
