What Is Rubber Band Ligation (Rbl / Banding)?

Rubber Band Ligation (RBL), also known as haemorrhoid banding, is one of the most widely performed non-surgical treatments for internal haemorrhoids. A small elastic band is placed tightly around the base of the internal haemorrhoid using a specialised applicator - cutting off its blood supply. The haemorrhoid shrinks and detaches naturally within 5–10 days. Dr. Samhitha Reddy performs RBL at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad - one of the top piles hospital near Gachibowli - as a quick outpatient procedure. No anaesthesia, no hospital admission, and no preparation beyond a simple enema. It is the recommended first-line treatment for Grade I and Grade II internal haemorrhoids and a key offering at her piles clinic in Hyderabad.
