Private Haemorrhoid Surgery
Safe, Effective Relief from Haemorrhoids
At JAL Surgery, we offer modern, tailored private haemorrhoid treatment in the UK for patients suffering from haemorrhoids (piles). Whether you are experiencing pain, bleeding, or discomfort that hasn’t improved with creams or non-surgical options, our consultant surgeons can provide safe and effective surgical solutions.
What Are Haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels inside or around the back passage (anus). They can cause:
- Bleeding after opening the bowels
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Lumps or swelling felt outside the anus
- Pain and discomfort, especially when thrombosed
While mild haemorrhoids can often be managed with lifestyle changes and creams, persistent or severe cases often need surgical treatment.
Types of Haemorrhoid Surgery We Offer
Haemorrhoidectomy (Surgical Removal)
- Traditional procedure where haemorrhoids are surgically excised.
- Most effective for large or recurrent haemorrhoids.
- Provides long-term relief, though recovery may take 2–3 weeks.
Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy
- Uses a special stapling device to reposition and reduce blood supply to haemorrhoids.
- Less painful than traditional haemorrhoidectomy.
- Faster recovery, though slightly higher risk of recurrence.
Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (HAL / THD)
- Minimally invasive technique using ultrasound to tie off the arteries supplying haemorrhoids.
- Often combined with a stitch to lift prolapsing tissue.
- Reduced post-operative pain and quicker return to normal activity.

Private Haemorrhoid Surgery FAQ's
How long does it take to recover from a Haemorrhoid operation?
Recovery after a haemorrhoid operation usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for most people, though full healing may take up to 6 weeks. Pain and discomfort improve in the first few days. Rest, proper diet, and following your doctor’s instructions help speed up recovery.
Do and don'ts after Haemorrhoid surgery?
After haemorrhoid surgery, do rest, eat high-fiber foods, drink plenty of water, and take prescribed medicines. Use warm sitz baths for comfort.
Don’t strain during bowel movements, lift heavy objects, or sit for long periods without breaks. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol until healing improves.
What to eat after Haemorrhoid surgery?
It’s best to eat soft, high-fiber foods like oatmeal, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. These prevent constipation and make bowel movements easier. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid processed foods, caffeine, and spicy meals, as they may cause irritation or make recovery slower.
How long does a Haemorrhoid surgery take?
Haemorrhoid surgery is usually a short procedure, often lasting 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the method used and the severity of the haemorrhoids. Patients typically go home the same day. The preparation and recovery room time may add a few extra hours.
Is Haemorrhoid surgery painful?
Yes, some pain and discomfort are normal after haemorrhoid surgery, especially during the first week. Pain levels vary from person to person. Doctors usually prescribe pain relievers, and warm sitz baths help ease discomfort. Most patients find the pain gradually improves within several days.
Cost of Private Haemorrhoid Surgery?
The cost of private haemorrhoid surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the type of procedure, and the facility where the surgery is performed. Each patient’s needs are different, so the exact cost may change based on your individual care plan.
