ellness Dr. Gutman Say goodbye to hemorrhoids “Some of my patients have been suffering with hemorrhoids for years because they’re afraid of surgery and don’t realize that treatment has come a long way. There are now a number of painless treatment options available,” says Dr. David Gutman of Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists. Dr. Gutman is a graduate of Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and a board certified internal medicine doctor who specializes in the non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids. Typical hemorrhoid symptoms include pain, bleeding, itching, a protrusion of tissue through the anus, difficulty in keeping clean, and anal leakage. “There’s such a stigma associated with hemorrhoid treatment, but there is really no reason to be afraid or embarrassed,” he opines. “Today’s treatments are so quick and easy, you’ll wonder why you waited.” Dr. Gutman offers two different non-surgical methods to treat hemorrhoids. He has performed over 20,000 procedures right here in Northeast Ohio, so you’ll be in very experienced hands. Infrared Coagulation “I use a high-intensity infrared light, similar to a laser, to reduce the blood flow, which reduces inflammation and helps tether the hemorrhoidal tissue higher in the anal canal so that it doesn’t drop down,” he explains. CRH O’ Regan Method This method allows Dr. Gutman to apply gentle suction to the redundant tissue and easily place an elastic band to remove the hemorrhoid. “Both of these treatments take only a few seconds to do, and since they are performed in an area with no nerve endings, they can be administered right in the comfort of my office without anesthesia. There is virtually no pain, no prep needed, there are no major restrictions, and you don’t have to take time off of work. The procedures are also covered by Medicare and most insurance plans,” he notes. Dr. Gutman is pleased to announce a new office location in Beachwood where he is currently accepting new patients.
