Proctology is a specialized branch of general surgery that deals with diseases of the rectum, anus, and lower colon. The focus of the specialty is on the diagnostics of the rectum (e.g., physical examinations, endoscopic examinations, imaging procedures), its treatment (e.g., pharmacological, minimally invasive, or surgical solutions), and the prevention of diseases.
The proctologist performs examinations, recommends further examinations, sets up a treatment plan, and helps relieve unpleasant symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or itching. Most rectal diseases are cured with medications, suppositories, ointments, and other treatments. In some cases, treatment may involve surgery, which is also indicated and performed by the proctologist surgeon.
It is recommended to seek medical attention for any suspicious symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help prevent more serious complications.
Proctological examination and anoscopy are unpleasant examinations, but they can be performed painlessly. Some of the interventions can also be performed under local anaesthesia.
