ABSTRACT:
A method for treating hermorrhoids comprises the steps of (a) inserting a rectal probe or removable suppository through a rectal orifice, (b) drawing water from the hemorrhoidal tissues into the probe, (c) maintaining the probe disposed at least partially in the rectal orifice during the step of drawing, (d) expanding the probe during the step of drawing so that a portion of the probe remains in substantial direct contact with the hemorrhoidal tissues upon shrinkage of the hemorrhoidal tissues during the step of drawing, and (e) removing the probe from the rectal orifice upon sufficient shrinkage of the hemorrhoidal tissues. The probe carries a hypertonic or hydroscopic solution and is provided along an outer surface with an elastic semi-permeable membrane, whereby water diffuses osmotically through the membrane into the probe upon proper disposition thereof. The probe may also include an impermeable membrane which is deformable for enabling the formation of a reservoir to accommodate water which has been drawn into the probe from hemorrhoidal tissues.
