you might check out radiofrequency with a halo wand. It is completely different than the other radiofrequency you might be offered. I'm assuming he has radiation proctopathy. The blood vessels are damaged and can't reform properly instead they just bleed until they slough off, and then reform improperly again. The depth and vibration of the wand is carefully controlled and ablates small squares. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3539292/

I've had the treatment multiple times because new areas appeared over the several years after cancer radiation. Happy to answer any questions.
