Born in Luzhou, China, Dr. Guoyi Chen has dedicated his life to the “Mastering of Great Skills to Alleviate the Suffering of Patients.” Dr. Guoyi Chen is from a family with a long history of practicing Traditional Chinese medicine. The history of the Chen family is very strong as they’re known for creating effective traditional Chinese medicine formulas. During Dr. Guoyi Chen’s long journey of medical practice, he found that some benign anorectal diseases had a toll on people’s lives and severely impacted their quality of life. Although these ailments are not life-threatening, they can be extremely bothersome since they affect bowel movement, self-confidence, and basic daily tasks. Also, Dr. Guoyi Chen noticed that most hemorrhoid treatments are challenging and with questionable effectiveness.
In 1979, Dr. Guoyi Chen moved to Xi’an and established the first Piles and Fistula hospital in the region. Since then, this technique has successfully treated thousands of patients who suffer from anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscesses, and anal fistula.

Comprehensive Anorectal Treatment — a unique naturopathic modality that combines both minor-surgical and non-surgical procedures, aiming to resolve anal diseases at their root.
Minor Surgical Procedure
Minor surgical techniques are performed under local anesthesia, allowing for precise incision and excision with minimal discomfort. After the procedure, patients remain in a recovery room for a brief observation period before being safely discharged. This minimally invasive approach is designed for specific anorectal concerns. The procedure typically lasts 10 to 40 minutes and is conducted in an outpatient setting. It is suitable in the following situations:
- Hemorrhoids
- Anal skin tags
- Chronic Anal Fissures.
- Painful external hemorrhoids
- Thrombosed hemorrhoids.
- Perianal abscess
- Superficial fistula
Some basic aspects of minor surgical intervention include:
- No fasting is required
- Local anesthesia
- Strategic Pain Relief Plan
- Possibility of same-day procedure
- Essential Component of Post-Treatment Care
Comprehensive Anorectal Care
At our Calgary hemorrhoid clinic, we provide comprehensive anorectal care and a range of minor medical procedures to help manage hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other perianal conditions. Our approach focuses on promoting comfort, supporting healthy tissue, and reducing the risk of recurrence. Care may include gentle cleansing routines to maintain hygiene, warm sitz baths to ease discomfort, and professional guidance to protect sensitive tissues. For certain cases, minor medical procedures can be performed in-clinic, offering targeted treatment. Through personalized care plans and in-clinic services, our goal is to support long-term anorectal health and deliver effective relief from hemorrhoid and anal fissure symptoms.
It is suitable for:
- Pre & Post Treatment Phases
- Hemorrhoids grades 1 and 2
- Individuals aged 70+ or those with health conditions that may not be suitable for surgical interventions.
- Individuals who seek a personalized approach that uses modern and natural medicine
- Patients unable to undergo an initial anoscope assessment due to specific medical conditions.
- Patients needing ongoing support and monitoring for chronic conditions such as anal abscesses or fistulas in chronic fissures, ensuring long-term well-being.
- Individuals requiring symptom management for pain, bleeding, or discomfort.
- Other cases based on personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs
Post-treatment phase of anorectal disorders
Since we understand the importance of post-treatment care, we take a unique approach to this phase. During hemorrhoid and chronic anal fissure post-treatment, we emphasize Stage One, which is a mandatory phase of daily care. This step is essential. Stage One of post-treatment care involves the application of Anorectal Ointment, which supports the drying process of hemorrhoidal tissue. As a result, most patients can resume normal bowel movements from the second day after minor surgery. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure, combined with the application of Anorectal Ointment, allows for outpatient recovery. Patients can drive to the clinic for follow-up care without significant limitations. The main features of post-treatment are:
- Professional Application – Each treatment session involves the application of the ointment by a skilled healthcare provider, which ensures the highest standard of care.
