Back to routine quickly
Many patients return to light activities in days.
What is Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)?
HAE is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. Using live X-ray guidance, a micro-catheter is threaded to the arteries that supply the haemorrhoids. Tiny particles are released to reduce blood flow, which helps decrease swelling, bleeding, and discomfort, without the need for traditional surgery.
You may be a candidate if you experience:
Bright red bleeding with bowel movements
Anal pain, pressure, or prolapse from internal haemorrhoids
Itching/irritation (“bum itching”) that hasn’t improved with creams or suppositories
Symptoms returning after banding or other office treatments
Your SFVA specialist will review your history, prior treatments, and any colon/rectal evaluations to confirm if HAE is right for you.
Before you travel: We help coordinate records, recent colonoscopy or clinic notes (if available), and timing so you minimise days away from home.
Procedure day: Local anaesthesia with light sedation; a tiny catheter treats the haemorrhoid arteries. No incisions.
Recovery: Expect mild cramp-like discomfort; most resume everyday activities within several days. Your team will advise when it’s safe to fly home.
Follow-up: Virtual check-ins available; in-person follow-ups can be aligned with travel.
Our billing team will discuss U.S. insurance, self-pay packages, and payment options before you book flights. We aim to make planning straightforward and transparent.

FAQs
About piles treatment in Jamaica (UFE)
Is HAE surgery?
No. It’s a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure performed through a tiny pinhole.
Will HAE stop the bleeding?
Many patients notice a meaningful reduction in bleeding and discomfort as the haemorrhoids lose excess blood supply. Your outcome depends on your specific condition.
Can I choose HAE if I’ve tried banding or creams?
Yes, HAE is often considered when symptoms persist or recur after conservative treatments.
How soon can I fly back to Jamaica?
Your clinician will advise you personally. Many regional patients plan a short stay in South Florida and fly once cleared.
Will I need time off work?
Most people return to light activity within several days; your plan is customised.
