🧮 The Hidden Lifetime Cost of Hemorrhoid Treatment

See Beyond the Surgery. Choose What Lasts.
Most hemorrhoid treatments address the symptom. Few protect your future.
The 5PF method changes everything — by preserving what matters most: Anatomy, Physiology, Function, and Quality of Life.

🔍 What Is the “Lifetime Cost” of Hemorrhoid Treatment?

Surgery isn’t the end — it's often just the beginning.
This Cost Calculator visualizes the cascading costs of conventional hemorrhoid treatments. Not just in money — but in time, complications, stress, and repeated interventions.

💸 Breakdown of Long-Term Costs

Each colored ring represents a hidden burden:

🟧 Lifetime Morbidity Cost – Long-term damage or dysfunction
🟨 Recurrence Cost – Repeat treatments and relapses
🟦 Follow-up & Late Complication Cost – Postoperative issues, chronic symptoms
🟫 Technology-Specific Complication Cost – Risks tied to staplers, energy devices, etc.
⚫ Other Costs – Lost wages, stress, fear, impact on career, family, or dignity

⚙️ Common Treatments Compared

Method	Technique
SH / PPH	Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy
HAL	Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation
EH	Excisional Hemorrhoidectomy
RBL	Rubber Band Ligation
Sclero	Sclerotherapy
ED	Energy Devices (Laser, RF, etc.)

🔄 Most are destructive or ablative. Most compromise function. Most lead to reintervention.

✅ 5PF: A Paradigm Shift in Cost & Care

At the center of the diagram is a single green zone:

5PF – Precise, Purposeful, Predictable, Personalized fibrosis.

Unlike cutting, stapling, or burning, 5PF reinforces the hemorrhoidal tissue without removing or destroying it, preserving both structure and function.

Result?

✅ 5Fewer complications
✅ Rare recurrence
✅ Better long-term quality of life
✅ True cost-effectiveness
