The choice of treatment depends on the size of the hemorrhoid. The success of the treatment depends on a variety of factors, including which treatment is used and whether contributing factors (such as constipation) can be changed.- Small internal hemorrhoids are often successfully treated with coagulation therapy. Large hemorrhoids are more likely to be treated with rubber band ligation. - One large study comparing infrared photocoagulation therapy, rubber band ligation, and injection sclerotherapy showed that infrared photocoagulation caused fewer and less serious complications.
