The average cost of surgery for hemorrhoids is around $5000-6000. If the patient’s hemorrhoids are mild, they can simply have their nucleus removed. Routine tests such as blood tests as well as special tests including ECG and chest X-ray are required before surgery. During the procedure, if the patient is not very sensitive to pain, it may be less expensive to perform the surgery under local anesthesia. If the patient chooses to have the surgery while under anesthesia, the cost may be appropriately more. After the complete removal of the hemorrhoid nucleus, the wound is dressed, and antibiotics and other fluids are required for symptomatic treatment when you get to the hospital room. If the patient is in very significant pain, they can also take oral painkillers or use painkilling injections inside the muscle, while the wound should be changed daily or observed for healing to prevent inflammation, infection and complications.
