Haemorrhoid Banding
Fast, Effective Relief from Haemorrhoids Without Surgery
Haemorrhoids can be a real pain, but relief doesn’t have to be complicated. At South East Gastroenterology & Endoscopy clinic in Melbourne, haemorrhoid banding is a fast, no-fuss way to treat internal haemorrhoids without surgery. Let’s go through what it is, why it’s a great option, and how we make it easy for you.
What is Haemorrhoid Banding?
Haemorrhoid banding, or rubber band ligation, is a quick and minimally invasive procedure to treat internal haemorrhoids. It involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the haemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off naturally within days.
This is a non-surgical option that provides long-lasting relief with little to no downtime.
Why Choose Haemorrhoid Banding?
Haemorrhoid banding is a top choice because it’s:
- Fast and effective: Takes just a few minutes to do.
- No hospital needed: Done right in our Melbourne clinic.
- Hardly any discomfort: Most people only feel mild pressure.
- Long-lasting relief: Works well for grades 1 to 3 internal haemorrhoids.
It’s a simple way to get rid of haemorrhoid symptoms and get back to feeling good.

Will It Hurt?
With Haemorrhoid Banding Melbourne, there’s no need to worry about pain. The procedure is quick, and most people only feel mild pressure, if anything. We make sure you’re comfortable, and any slight discomfort afterwards usually goes away fast.
How Long Until It’s Gone?
The haemorrhoid usually shrinks and falls off within 5–7 days after Haemorrhoid Banding Melbourne. You’ll likely notice relief from symptoms like pain or bleeding soon after, and it passes naturally when you go to the loo.
Does It Work for External Haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoid Banding Melbourne is designed for internal haemorrhoids (grades 1 to 3). It doesn’t treat external haemorrhoids, which are outside the anus. Dr Desmond will check your symptoms and suggest the best option if you have external ones.

Most people only need one or two sessions of Haemorrhoid Banding Melbourne to clear up their haemorrhoids. If you have multiple or larger ones, we might do a few treatments over time. Dr Desmond will let you know what’s best for you.
