Hemorrhoids are a much more common condition than you may think. As a matter of fact, 100% of the population has hemorrhoids, but only 50% develop hemorrhoidal disease. In spite of this, it remains a topic few talk about, which limits the access to innovative and efficient solutions.
Capenergy C500 radiofrequency is a biological and non-surgical sanitary alternative for the treatment of hemorrhoids, offering a painless and highly effective option. In this article, we’ll explore its causes, recommendations and how Capenergy’s technology is revolutionizing its approach.
What are hemorrhoids and why do they occur?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal and anal area, similar to varicose veins. They are the consequence of increased pressure in the perianal region, which can have multiple underlying factors:
- Chronic constipation: Straining during bowel movements increases pressure in the anal veins.
- Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of physical activity reduces blood flow in the pelvic area.
- Low-fiber diet: Hard stools make evacuation difficult, increasing venous inflammation.
- Pregnancy and childbirth: The baby ‘s weight and hormonal changes contribute to their development.
- Sitting or standing for long periods: It hinders venous return, promoting inflammation.
Both men and women can develop hemorrhoidal disease, although for women, pregnancy and childbirth are key moments for its onset. In these cases, Capenergy radiofrequency does not only treat the hemorrhoids: it also helps in pelvic floor recovery, improving the muscle tone and reducing symptoms such as urinary incontinence.
Types of hemorrhoids: internal and external
Hemorrhoids are classified as internal or external, depending on their location within the anal canal. Though both can cause discomfort, its symptoms and treatment vary depending on the severity of the condition.
1.External hemorrhoids: visible and palpable
External hemorrhoids are located below the pectinate (or dentate) line, which separates the perianal skin from the mucosa of the anal canal. They are characteristically visible and palpable, which makes clinical diagnosis easier.
2.Internal hemorrhoid: less visible, but with increased bleeding
Internal hemorrhoids are located above the pectinate line, within the anal canal. They are usually not painful, since this area lacks nerve endings sensitive to pain. Nevertheless, in advanced cases, they can protrude outside the anus and cause significant discomfort.
General recommendations for the improvement of hemorrhoids
Changes in lifestyle and certain care measures, can help reduce the symptoms and prevent recurrence.
- Increase fiber consumption (fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals) to improve bowel movements.
- Adequate hydration, at least 2 liters of water per day.
- Avoiding excessive strain during bowel movements and not delaying bath room visits.
- Regular exercise, such as walking and swimming, stimulates the blood flow.
- Avoid sitting down for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces.
- Lukewarm sitz baths to relieve inflammation.
- Using cotton underwear and avoiding tight clothing that hinders circulation.
While these recommendations can relieve symptoms, in many cases, complementary treatment is needed to resolve the problem definitively.
Treatment options for hemorrhoids
Historically, there have been limited conventional treatment options for hemorrhoids, ranging from dietary changes to invasive surgery. Nevertheless, Capenergy’s C500 radiofrequency is presented as an advanced and efficient solution without any side effects.
Common treatments
- Conservative measures: high-fiber diet, hydration, exercise and topical creams containing anti-inflammatory agents.
- Sclerotherapy or laser coagulation: recommended for moderate cases.
- Surgery (hemorrhoidectomy): recommended only for advanced hemorrhoids or those with constant bleeding.
- Advanced physiotherapy with Capenergy C500 radiofrequency: a painless, safe and non-invasive alternative.
How does Capenergy radiofrequency help in hemorrhoid treatment?
Capenergy radiofrequency is an innovative technology that uses deep diathermy to generate a bio-stimulating, anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect in the affected tissues.
Its C500 device, equipped with a 360º intracavitary probe with temperature sensor, allows for an internal and external localized treatment, speeding up the patient ‘s recovery.
Benefits of the treatment with Capenergy’s C500
Hemorrhoids treatment with Capenergy’s C500 is a painless and non-invasive procedure, during a which a gentle massage is applied to the affected area with specific electrodes, for approximately 20 minutes. Unlike surgery or laser treatment, it does not require anesthesia or hospitalization, allowing the patient to resume their routine immediately with a noticeable sense of relief from the first session.
The benefits that Capenergy technology provides for hemorrhoid treatments are:
- Reduction of inflammation and pain, improving the patient’s life quality.
- Increased blood flow, promoting the reabsorption of edema and the oxygenation of tissues.
- Reduction of venous congestion, avoiding further development of the hemorrhoids.
- Stimulation of tissue regeneration, strengthening the venous walls and preventing recurrence.
- Avoiding the need of invasive treatments in mild and moderate cases.
- Immediate results: patients experience relief from the first session, with visibly reduced swelling after 3 to 5 sessions.
- To optimize treatment results, it is advisable to maintain a balanced diet and follow basic guidelines for hydration and physical activity.
How is Capenergy’s C500 treatment applied?
In general, the first session tends to last about 60 minutes,including a comprehensive medical history and explanation of the proposed treatment. The treatment begins gradually, with the professional and the patient engaging in the recognition of that part of the anatomy.
The treatment is performed comfortably and safely on a treatment table, following a personalized protocol:
1.Masaje externo sobre la hemorroide con un electrodo capacitivo a baja temperatura, ya que la superficie a tratar es pequeña y la entrega energética muy grande.
2.Intracavitary application with a specialized accessory, designed to treat the perianal area in a safe and comfortable way, thanks to its specific shape and size, emulating the shape of a finger. The edges of the hemorrhoids are treated without actual penetration of the hemorrhoid. This stimulates the irrigation and oxygenation of the tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting the reabsorption of the hemorrhoid.
