Rubber Band Ligation VS Infrared Coagulation

Anyone have experiences with both? I recently had 3 rubber bands done and a 4th on one of the same ones. A month later from the 4th and still getting bleeding from one hem. Wondering if anyone has tried infrared Coagulation (IRC)?

I’m trying to avoid doing surgery as it’s not an option for me to take off even a week of work in the next year or so.

Wondering if IRC could possibly help? Or is it worth it to even try a 5th banding.
