Banding/Sclerotherapy Treatment in Delhi

Banding/Sclerotherapy

Banding (Rubber Band Ligation) and Sclerotherapy are minimally invasive medical procedures commonly used for the treatment of hemorrhoids and sometimes for esophageal varices. Both methods are designed to reduce symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, and in some cases, eliminate the abnormal veins or hemorrhoids altogether.
