Apollo Spectra Introduces Rafaelo for Haemorrhoid Treatment
Apollo Spectra Hospital has started using a new method called Rafaelo to treat piles, which is a common problem.
This method uses radiofrequency, a type of energy, to shrink the piles.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is done in a day, so patients can go home the same day.
It uses local anesthesia, so it's less painful, and doesn't cut any tissue.
Doctors say it is a game-changer, and is particularly good for people with desk jobs or who need to recover quickly.
It is designed to help many people who suffer from piles.
Apollo Spectra Hospital introduces Rafaelo, a minimally invasive radiofrequency therapy for haemorrhoids.
The Rafaelo procedure is performed under local anesthesia as a daycare procedure.
The procedure uses radiofrequency energy delivered via a specialized probe.
It is a 30-minute procedure that doesn't involve tissue incision, minimizing trauma.
The treatment is aimed at the 40 million people in the country affected by piles.
