Hemorrhoids Treatment in Los Angeles
Comfortable, in-office hemorrhoid care with Dr. Moshe Barnajian, a board-certified colorectal surgeon serving Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.
Discreet, Effective Hemorrhoid Relief
Few problems are as common — or as needlessly endured — as hemorrhoids. These swollen blood vessels around the anus and lower rectum can bleed, itch, and ache, yet nearly all cases can be resolved comfortably in the office. Dr. Barnajian has helped thousands of Los Angeles patients put this problem behind them.
You do not have to live with the discomfort or the embarrassment. Dr. Barnajian and his team handle these concerns with complete discretion and a calm, practical approach, starting with the simplest treatment that will work for you.
As a Cedars-Sinai-trained colorectal surgeon, Dr. Barnajian offers the full range of modern options, from painless in-office procedures to advanced minimally invasive surgery when it is truly needed.
Recognizing the Different Types
The right treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Barnajian carefully evaluates each patient before recommending a plan.
Internal
Located inside the rectum, these usually announce themselves with painless bleeding and respond very well to quick office treatment.
External
Found under the skin at the anal opening, these can itch, swell, and become tender, especially after straining or long periods of sitting.
Thrombosed
When a clot forms inside an external hemorrhoid, it causes sudden, sharp pain and a firm lump that often benefits from prompt attention.
What Causes Them and When to Act
Typical signs include bright-red bleeding during bowel movements, itching, a tender lump near the anus, and a feeling of fullness or irritation. Because bleeding can occasionally signal something more serious, Dr. Barnajian always evaluates it rather than assuming a diagnosis.
Increased pressure in the pelvic veins is the underlying cause — driven by straining, constipation, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, and a low-fiber diet. Addressing those habits is part of every treatment plan and helps keep the problem from coming back.
Hemorrhoid Treatment Options
Dr. Barnajian always begins with the least invasive approach that will give you lasting relief.
Lifestyle & Fiber
Simple changes to diet, hydration, and bathroom habits resolve many early cases without any procedure.
Rubber Band Ligation
A fast, in-office treatment that gently cuts off the blood supply to an internal hemorrhoid, with essentially no downtime.
Infrared Coagulation
A quick, comfortable energy treatment ideal for smaller internal hemorrhoids.
Sclerotherapy
A targeted injection that shrinks the tissue, a good alternative for patients who prefer to avoid banding.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
For advanced or recurring cases, Dr. Barnajian uses refined surgical techniques designed to minimize pain and speed recovery.
What Your Visit Looks Like
From the first call to your follow-up, the goal is comfort and clarity. Dr. Barnajian listens, examines the area gently, and explains your options in plain language.
Before your appointment
Continue your usual diet and medications unless told otherwise, and note when symptoms began and what makes them better or worse.
During your visit
Most exams take only minutes, and many office treatments can be completed the same day without anesthesia.
After your care
You will leave with clear, written aftercare guidance and a simple plan to prevent recurrence.

Hemorrhoid FAQs
Are hemorrhoid treatments painful?
Most in-office treatments are quick and cause little to no discomfort. Dr. Barnajian prioritizes your comfort, and the majority of patients return to normal activity the same day.
Will I need surgery?
Rarely. The great majority of cases are resolved with conservative care or simple office procedures. Surgery is reserved for severe or persistent cases and is done with techniques that minimize pain.
When should I see a specialist?
See a colorectal specialist for any rectal bleeding, a painful lump, or symptoms that do not improve with over-the-counter care. Bleeding should always be evaluated to rule out other causes.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Most PPO plans are accepted and our team verifies your benefits before your visit. Call (424) 622-9028 to confirm coverage.
Can they come back after treatment?
They can, but a high-fiber diet, good hydration, and avoiding straining greatly lower the risk. Dr. Barnajian gives every patient a personalized prevention plan.
