Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Haemorrhoids are enlarged vascular cushions of the rectum, and the treatment approach is determined less by your complaint than by the stage and form of the disease. Before prescribing treatment, the proctologist examines you, performs anoscopy or rectoscopy if needed, and assesses the condition of the mucosa and the number of affected haemorrhoids. This determines whether conservative treatment will be enough or a procedure will be needed.
In the early stages of haemorrhoids, topical medicines are prescribed and diet and lifestyle are adjusted. For internal haemorrhoids, minimally invasive methods are highly effective: rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy and radiofrequency coagulation. External and combined forms may require a haemorrhoidectomy, which today is performed with less pain and a shorter recovery.
The outcome of haemorrhoid treatment depends on the chosen approach, the stage of the disease and how closely you follow the advice after the procedure. Most patients return to their normal routine within 2–4 weeks. MediUkraine arranges a qualified proctologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and takes care of the organisation, from the first booking to agreeing the dates.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Haemorrhoid treatment depends on the stage of the disease and your individual circumstances. In the early stages, conservative methods are used: topical medicines (ointments, suppositories), venotonics, and changes to diet and lifestyle. They reduce inflammation, pain and bleeding.
If conservative treatment does not work, the next step is minimally invasive procedures. In sclerotherapy, a special medicine is injected into the haemorrhoid that seals its walls together. Rubber band ligation cuts off the blood supply to the haemorrhoid, which then dies and falls off. Photocoagulation and radiofrequency ablation are two more effective options with minimal recovery time.
Surgery is needed for grade three or four haemorrhoids, in acute thrombosis or when previous techniques have not worked. In a haemorrhoidectomy, the affected haemorrhoids are removed completely. MediUkraine specialists will help you choose the best option at the partner clinic, taking into account your clinical situation and your wishes.
The recovery period after haemorrhoid treatment depends on the method. After minimally invasive procedures such as sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation and coagulation, patients return to their usual activities within 2–3 days. After surgery, rehabilitation takes 2–4 weeks.
For the first few days, follow a high-fibre diet and drink enough fluid to prevent constipation. Warm sitz baths for 10–15 minutes and topical painkillers recommended by the doctor ease soreness and discomfort in the rectal area. Avoid strenuous physical activity during the first week.
Follow-up visits to the proctologist are needed to monitor healing and spot any complications early. MediUkraine arranges these visits at the clinic and stays in touch throughout the recovery period. The doctor gives you the date of the first check-up straight after the procedure, and at that visit decides when you can return to physical activity.
A minimally invasive procedure treats enlarged haemorrhoidal vessels of the rectum without major surgery. Depending on the stage of the disease and the clinical picture, sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation or radiofrequency destruction is chosen. The proctologist discusses the indications and advantages of each technique with you at the initial consultation.
In sclerotherapy, a sclerosing medicine is injected directly into the vessel of the haemorrhoid, which becomes inflamed and seals. In ligation, an elastic band is placed on the haemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply, and the haemorrhoid dies and separates on its own. Both procedures are done on an outpatient basis, under local anaesthesia, without a hospital stay.
The rehabilitation period depends on the method and usually ranges from a few days to two weeks. In the early stage of recovery, a high-fibre diet and a break from physical exertion are recommended. MediUkraine arranges a qualified proctologist and books your procedure at the specialised partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
The price reflects the real cost of the service, not a mark-up for international patients.
Haemorrhoid treatment at Ukrainian clinics costs 30–50% of the prices at European medical centres. This difference is explained by the lower cost of medical services, not by a simplified approach: Ukrainian proctologists receive the same specialist training and use the same minimally invasive techniques as their colleagues abroad. MediUkraine works with a vetted partner clinic with competitive prices, so arranging and agreeing the terms of treatment does not take up unnecessary time.
Direct contracts between Ukrainian clinics and suppliers of equipment and materials keep prices free of mark-ups.
MediUkraine clearly shows the cost of each stage of treatment, from the consultation to the follow-up examination. Check straight away what the price includes: tests, pain relief and the check-up after the procedure.
The safety of haemorrhoid treatment at Ukrainian clinics rests on following established clinical protocols. Sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation and minimally invasive surgery have a low complication rate when performed by a qualified specialist. MediUkraine gives you access to a clinic where all the necessary examinations and a full proctologist consultation take place before the procedure.
MediUkraine's partner clinic uses proper equipment for minimally invasive procedures, sterility protocols and adequate pain relief. The staff regularly update their qualifications, and their training is confirmed by documents that we check before adding the clinic to the catalogue.
The check of the partner clinic includes its licences, the doctors' experience and patient feedback. After treatment, outpatient follow-up continues so that an early complication does not go unnoticed. At the consultation, ask the doctor about the method of pain relief, how many similar procedures they have performed and what to do if bleeding occurs after the procedure.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Haemorrhoids are enlarged, swollen vascular cushions in the rectum and anal canal. They develop because of blood congestion, excessive straining during bowel movements and weakness of the vessel walls. By location, haemorrhoids are divided into internal and external. Without treatment they cause pain, itching, bleeding and discomfort when sitting and during bowel movements.
Haemorrhoid treatment in Ukraine starts from USD 108 for a minimally invasive procedure, for example rubber band ligation. The final price depends on the number of haemorrhoids, the stage of the disease, the method chosen and the need for additional diagnostics.
See a proctologist at the first symptoms: a feeling of pressure, pain, itching or blood after a bowel movement. An early consultation gives you the chance to manage with gentle methods and avoid thrombosis or inflammation.
Preparation means a light diet for 1–2 days before the procedure, a bowel preparation as recommended by the doctor and temporarily avoiding fatty and spicy food. Before the procedure the doctor examines you and, if needed, performs anoscopy or rectoscopy to assess the condition of the mucosa.
Yes, but only under the supervision of a proctologist. In most cases conservative treatment is prescribed: ointments, suppositories and diet. If the haemorrhoids are complicated by bleeding or thrombosis, minimally invasive treatment is possible after agreement with your gynaecologist.
The main indications are bleeding, pain, a feeling of a foreign body, prolapse of the haemorrhoids or itching in the anal area. Any form of haemorrhoids is treated if the symptoms affect your quality of life or threaten complications.
Yes, it is possible to get rid of haemorrhoids for good, but the result depends on the stage of the disease and the treatment method. At early grades (I–II), conservative treatment with topical medicines, suppositories and dietary changes often gives a lasting result. Advanced forms (grades III–IV) require a procedure, from minimally invasive options (sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation) to conventional haemorrhoidectomy. Modern techniques deal with the affected haemorrhoids effectively and have a low recurrence rate.
A cure also means addressing the causes: a balanced diet, physical activity and preventing constipation. MediUkraine will arrange a proctologist at the partner clinic with the right qualifications and equipment for an accurate diagnosis and the choice of method in your case. It is worth booking a consultation at the first symptoms: in the early stages there is a wider choice of methods.
