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.
Sclerotherapy is performed under anoscope guidance: the doctor sees the anal canal from the inside and guides the needle to the base of the haemorrhoid, an area where the mucosa has almost no pain receptors. That is why local anaesthesia is enough, and the procedure itself takes 10–15 minutes. The method is designed for grade I–III internal haemorrhoids.
The practical benefit for you is no incisions or stitches and a quick recovery: no hospital stay is needed, and the next day you can return to your usual way of life without restrictions on physical activity. The recurrence rate stays low if you follow the doctor's advice on diet and bowel habits.
Through MediUkraine you can book this treatment at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and see in advance the terms, the specialists' qualifications and the cost. This is convenient when you are planning your trip ahead of time.
A consultation with a proctologist before the procedure is essential: the doctor assesses your condition and the stage of the disease and confirms the indications.
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.

Classic sclerotherapy is the basic treatment for internal haemorrhoids. The medicine is injected directly into the haemorrhoid during anoscopy; it causes inflammation of the vessel wall, sclerosis and narrowing of the vessel. Solutions of ethanolamine oleate, polidocanol or 5% phenol in oil are used. The technique works for grade I–III haemorrhoids and usually requires several sessions 1–2 weeks apart.
Combined therapy combines sclerotherapy with other minimally invasive techniques, such as rubber band ligation or ligation of the vessels. It is recommended when internal and external haemorrhoids are present at the same time. The partner clinic in Uzhhorod treats haemorrhoidal disease comprehensively rather than offering a single technique.
The recovery period after sclerotherapy is shorter than after other treatments: most patients return to their usual activities the next day. But the first week calls for care, as following the doctor's advice determines how lasting the result will be.
For the first 48 hours avoid intensive workouts, heavy lifting and sitting for long periods. Mild discomfort, itching and a small amount of mucus discharge are expected and pass within 3–5 days. To ease the symptoms, the doctor prescribes topical treatments and advises a soft diet with plenty of fluids to prevent constipation.
A follow-up examination is scheduled after 2–3 weeks. Some patients need several sessions, depending on the grade of the haemorrhoids, and the doctor draws up the schedule after the first visit. The MediUkraine team will arrange an experienced proctologist and help you plan the sequence of treatment.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment in which a medicine is injected into the haemorrhoid: it causes inflammation of the inner layer of the vessel and its subsequent narrowing. The doctor views the haemorrhoid through an anoscope; the procedure takes 10–15 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis, without general anaesthesia.
The method works best for grade I–III internal haemorrhoids. The injected medicine causes fibrosis of the haemorrhoid tissue, and the haemorrhoid shrinks over 1–2 weeks. There is almost no pain, as the rectal mucosa has few pain receptors, so you can return to your daily activities straight after the procedure.
Complications are rare: pain in the rectal area, minor bleeding or an allergic reaction to the medicine. Recovery is quick, and most patients notice that their symptoms disappear within 1–2 weeks of the session.
Haemorrhoid sclerotherapy in Ukraine costs noticeably less than at clinics in Europe and the USA. The reason is not quality: the difference comes from the cost of renting premises, the level of medical staff pay and the purchase prices of equipment. Ukrainian proctology centres work with sclerosants from international manufacturers, yet the price is 3–5 times lower than in Western Europe.
MediUkraine works with a specialised partner clinic whose vetted proctologists have experience with such procedures. You see a transparent estimate with no hidden fees, which helps you save on both the procedure and the diagnostics.
There are practically no waiting lists: you can usually book within 1–2 weeks. The procedure itself takes 15–20 minutes, and the next day you return to your normal routine. To get a cost estimate, send our adviser a proctologist's report stating the grade of your haemorrhoids, and you will receive a calculation from the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
The safety of the procedure at Ukrainian clinics rests on following established treatment protocols and using approved sclerosing agents. The injection is made under direct vision through the anoscope, which lowers the risk of complications and makes the injection more precise.
MediUkraine's partner clinic disinfects its rooms and sterilises its instruments in line with the requirements of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The medical staff regularly update their skills in minimally invasive procedures, so side effects are less likely and any complications are dealt with quickly.
Before the procedure you are examined: the proctologist assesses your health and rules out contraindications. MediUkraine ensures clear communication between you and the doctor, so you know in advance what the risks are and what result to expect. Follow-up examinations after the procedure assess its effectiveness and pick up any complications early.
📍 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.
It is a minimally invasive procedure that treats internal haemorrhoids without surgery. The doctor injects a special medicine, a sclerosant, into the vessel of the haemorrhoid; it seals the vessel walls together and cuts off its blood supply. Within a few days the haemorrhoid shrinks, and over time it disappears naturally.
The price depends on the number of haemorrhoids, the stage of the disease and the clinic. On average, the procedure in Ukraine starts from USD 122, considerably less than in European countries, with the same requirements for medicines, sterility and the doctor's qualifications.
Reasons to see a proctologist include blood during bowel movements, itching, burning, pain or a feeling of a foreign body in the rectal area. The earlier treatment starts, the better the chance of relieving the symptoms without surgery.
2–3 days beforehand, it is best to switch to a light diet and cut out foods that cause constipation or bloating. On the day of the visit the doctor may recommend a gentle bowel preparation. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, so it does not need complicated preparation.
This is decided individually. In most cases the procedure is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, to avoid any effect of the medicines on the baby. The doctor may suggest suitable alternatives or postpone treatment.
The method is effective for grade I–II internal haemorrhoids that cause bleeding, itching, pain or discomfort. At later stages of the disease it is used as part of combined treatment.
Yes, in the early stages haemorrhoids are treated without a scalpel, but the result depends on the stage of the disease and your individual factors. The technique works mainly for grade I–II internal haemorrhoids, when they are not yet much enlarged: the medicine is injected directly into the haemorrhoid, which scleroses and gradually disappears. According to published data, symptoms resolve in 80–90% of patients with early-grade haemorrhoids.
For grades III–IV, sclerotherapy more often becomes one part of combined treatment with other methods. Success depends not only on the procedure itself but also on whether you follow the advice on diet, fluid intake and physical activity. Through MediUkraine you can book an appointment at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where the doctors carry out a detailed diagnosis, determine the stage of the disease and propose the best treatment plan for your case.
