Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization – your butt will thank you
Get ready to laugh (and maybe squirm a little) because on this episode of The Armor Men’s Health Show, Donna Lee sits down with the amazingly chill and fantastic Dr. Preston Smith – Interventional Radiologist and all-around hemorrhoid hero at Urology Specialists of Austin and Summit Interventional Radiology!
Yep, we’re finally talking about the thing nobody wants to talk about… the dreaded “H-word”: hemorrhoids! (Cue awkward silence at family gatherings.)
If you’ve been suffering in silence (or not-so-silence) thinking your only options are creams, sitz baths, or that medieval-sounding surgery nobody wants, hold onto your donut pillow – there’s a better way!
Dr. Smith spills the beans on Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization – a fancy way of saying, “Hey little blood vessels feeding those angry bumps… you’re cut off!” The hemorrhoids basically get ghosted by their own blood supply, shrink down, and wave goodbye to the pain, itching, and general backyard drama.
Best parts of Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization?
- Done right in the office
- Just a happy little nap (light sedation)
- You’re home chillin’ an hour later (just bring a friend to drive – no Uber heroics)
- Basically ZERO downtime – back to work, golf, spin class, whatever – usually the next day!
- Compare that to the old-school hemorrhoidectomy (think 4-6 weeks of regret and waddling) and it’s like choosing between a spa day and a root canal.
So if your tush has been staging a protest, give Dr. Smith a shout!

Your butt will thank you… and so will everyone who’s tired of hearing you complain about it!
Thanks for listening to The Armor Men’s Health Show – go share this episode (and maybe spare your friends the spicy food talk). See you next week!
