A minimally invasive alternative to conventional hemorrhoid surgery using advanced Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) technology — less trauma, quicker healing, earlier return to daily life.
Laser treatment for external hemorrhoids at Proctoclinic Jordan offers a modern, effective solution for patients with persistent, recurring, or advanced hemorrhoidal disease. Patients from the U.S., Gulf region, and across the world are treated within days using techniques that significantly reduce postoperative discomfort.

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels located in or around the anal canal. External hemorrhoids form beneath the skin surrounding the anus — an area rich in nerve endings — which is why they tend to cause more noticeable and painful symptoms than internal hemorrhoids.
Common symptoms include pain or discomfort while sitting, persistent itching, swelling or a palpable lump, and bleeding during bowel movements. In more severe cases, thrombosed external hemorrhoids can develop — where a blood clot forms within the hemorrhoid, causing sudden, intense pain.
While mild hemorrhoids may improve with conservative treatment, persistent symptoms — especially recurring pain, bleeding, or thrombosis — often require evaluation by a hemorrhoid specialist to prevent the condition from worsening.
Causes
Several factors can contribute to the development of external hemorrhoids. Understanding the underlying causes can help with both prevention and choosing the right treatment approach.
Repeated straining during bowel movements increases pressure on the blood vessels around the anus, causing them to swell over time. Chronic constipation is one of the most common and preventable causes of external hemorrhoids.
The increased pressure of the growing uterus on pelvic blood vessels, combined with hormonal changes and constipation common during pregnancy, makes hemorrhoids especially common in expectant mothers — particularly during the third trimester and after delivery.
Excess body weight increases pressure on the pelvic and rectal veins, raising the likelihood of hemorrhoid formation. Combined with sedentary habits, this is a significant contributing factor in many cases.
A diet low in fibre leads to harder stools and more frequent straining — directly contributing to hemorrhoid formation and worsening existing symptoms. Increasing dietary fibre is one of the simplest preventive measures available.
Extended periods of sitting — common in office jobs and long-distance travel — increase pressure on the rectal veins and slow circulation in the pelvic area, contributing to hemorrhoid development over time.
Cost Breakdown
Yes. Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is an effective option for many patients with external hemorrhoids, particularly when symptoms are persistent, recurrent, or associated with mixed internal and external hemorrhoidal disease. The suitability of laser treatment depends on grade, severity, and individual patient factors assessed by Dr. Aref during consultation.
| Grade | Description | Laser suitable |
| Grade I | No prolapse. Bleeding without tissue outside the anal canal. | ✓ Yes |
| Grade II | Prolapse during straining that reduces spontaneously. | ✓ Yes |
| Grade III | Prolapse requiring manual reduction. | ✓ Yes |
| Grade IV | Permanently prolapsed, cannot be reduced manually. | Case by case |
| Mixed | Combined internal and external hemorrhoidal disease. | ✓ Yes |
| Recurrent | Hemorrhoids that have returned after previous treatment. | ✓ Yes |
A thrombosed external hemorrhoid occurs when a blood clot forms within the swollen tissue, causing sudden, often severe pain, a firm and tender lump, and visible swelling or discoloration around the anus. Unlike typical hemorrhoid discomfort, the pain from thrombosis can develop within hours and is often described as one of the most intense symptoms patients experience.
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids require individual clinical assessment. In some cases — particularly within the first 48–72 hours of clot formation — prompt treatment can provide rapid relief. In others, the acute episode may need to settle before laser treatment is performed. Dr. Aref evaluates every case personally to determine the most appropriate timing and approach.
If you are experiencing sudden, severe anal pain with a hard lump, this may be a thrombosed hemorrhoid. Submit your case for priority review — our team can advise on next steps quickly, including whether urgent evaluation is recommended.
The procedure
Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that uses targeted laser energy to treat hemorrhoidal tissue from within. Unlike conventional hemorrhoidectomy — which involves cutting and removing tissue — LHP delivers controlled laser energy directly into the hemorrhoid, sealing the blood vessels that supply it and causing the tissue to shrink gradually over time.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, preserves the natural anatomy of the anal canal, and minimises trauma to surrounding tissue. Most patients are discharged the same day.
The figures below reflect real-world pricing for patients without insurance, or with high-deductible plans, as reported by U.S. healthcare pricing databases in 2025–2026. Proctoclinic pricing is fixed and all-inclusive.
Many patients postpone seeking care due to embarrassment or fear of surgery. Modern laser hemorrhoid treatment offers a significantly less painful alternative. If you experience any of the following, an evaluation is recommended — early treatment often prevents symptoms from worsening.
Recurring hemorrhoid symptoms despite medication or home treatment
Persistent pain or discomfort — especially when sitting
Bleeding during bowel movements
Swelling or a lump that does not improve
Prolapsed hemorrhoids
Difficulty sitting comfortably
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids (sudden, severe pain)
Failure of conservative treatments including creams and dietary changes
