Hemorrhoid Treatment with Snyder HemBand

When home remedies and lifestyle changes aren’t enough, your doctor may recommend a simple in-office procedure called rubber band ligation, often referred to as hemorrhoid banding.

At Capitol Gastro, our specialists use the Snyder HemBand system — a safe, proven, and painless treatment designed to provide lasting relief.

Your first visit will include a consultation and exam, where your doctor will discuss your symptoms, explain how the procedure works, and answer any questions you may have. If banding is the right option for you, treatment is typically scheduled over a series of visits.

Most patients need three banding sessions, spaced about two weeks apart, followed by a check-up to make sure everything has healed well. Many patients begin to feel better after the first session, but completing the full course of treatment greatly reduces the chance of hemorrhoids returning.

Because banding is quick, requires no anesthesia, and causes minimal discomfort, you can return to your normal activities the same day. No special preparation is needed, and you may eat and go about your routine as usual.
