What Are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids, which are a normal part of our anatomy can sometimes be symptomatic. The condition frequently occurs when the tissue in the anus bulges or protrudes leading to pain or bleeding. Hemorrhoids can present internally or externally. Hemorrhoids are not uncommon. As a matter of fact, close to three-fourths of adults will suffer from hemorrhoids occasionally. In some occurrences, a blood clot will develop inside a hemorrhoid (referred to as a thrombosed hemorrhoid) and can cause pain or discomfort. The surgeons at Mountain West Surgical Specialists are experienced in treating this common condition. To locate care for hemorrhoids in Cheyenne, WY, please reach out to our office today.
How Are Hemorrhoids Treated?
Sometimes, smaller hemorrhoids might resolve without intervention within a few days. Your doctor may prescribe medications or suggest at-home remedies to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of hemorrhoids. When larger hemorrhoids present, however, medical intervention is available in Cheyenne, WY and may be needed to excise or address the hemorrhoid. Common hemorrhoid treatment includes rubber band ligation, IRC, tub baths in warm water, topical creams, treatment of constipation, or surgery.

Mountain West Surgical Specialists Reviews
Dr Kaan is the best. He clearly and patiently answered all my questions and what my diagnoses was.
I recently underwent a recent colonoscopy with Dr. Gates. The entire process from the referral, consult, pre-procedure and afterwards was great. Everyone was very nice and really good at what they do. Thank you!
Dr. Gates is an excellent doctor. He took the time to explain his thoughts, listened to me and my concerns, and clearly cared about my health and well being.
Kind and friendly. Great at communicating with patient. Answered all questions. Took his time.
