Ultroid: Be kind to your behind

Simple walk-in, walk-out procedure for piles available in London and 14 other locations

-

S OME eight million of us suffer from the irksome problem of haemorrhoi­ds, or piles, according to recent estimates. Yet NHS data shows that surprising­ly few come forward for treatment. And perhaps it’s little wonder. Surgery can leave patients in pain for weeks afterwards. Not to mention the embarrassm­ent factor. Only sexually transmitte­d diseases cause people more medical blushes, a survey by YouPoll reveals. One in seven piles sufferers even avoids sport or taking a holiday, and one in six has needed to take time off work. But there is a new treatment that could shrink piles without the worry. The treatment works by applying a very low voltage current to the base of the pile for up to ten minutes, causing it to shrink. This procedure is completely non-invasive - no needles or sharp instrument­s are used. Many patients feel instant relief from the moment they stand up. Almost all can then return to normal activities without having

to spend time recovering. More than 150,000 patients have now been treated worldwide. Arabella Maudslay, a private

carer from Kent, said, “I had piles for many years and finally ended up getting a banding procedure from an NHS consultant, but the piles never really went away.

“I struggled on for another 10 years. A few months ago I went dog training with some friends and ended up bleeding in the pub. A horrendous situation. Golf had also become almost impossible and standing for any length of time. It really was affecting my whole life.

“So I went online and found Ultroid. At the clinic, I was very nervous due to my previous experience, but Dr HudsonPeac­ock immediatel­y put me at ease. It was amazing! I won’t say it was completely pain free because that would be totally unrealisti­c. It was a little uncomforta­ble but I was talked to throughout about random things which kept my mind off it, and it was definitely a discomfort that I could handle.

“I took 2 doses of nurofens over the next 24 hours! I felt amazing. I have been very careful about lifting but everything else I can do and, apart from a very minor bit of discomfort, I have been absolutely fine. Even going to the toilet has been fine. A little blood but I was told to expect that. My husband was as ecstatic as I was and actually rather amazed.

I cannot speak more highly about Ultroid. It is going to transform people’s lives.”
