Proctology

Proctology includes several disciplines – gastroenterology, surgery, endoscopy and therapy. From there, a proctologist or a coloproctologist knows about intestine, diagnostic methods of intestine, anus, anorectal area; medicamentous, surgical and endoscopic ways of treatment.

A proctologist can treat these pathologies:

• Haemorrhoids.
• Anal fissure.
• Pilonidal cyst.
• Acute anal abscess.
• Chronic periproctitis (anal and rectum fistula).
• Rectovaginal fistula.
• Rectal prolapse.
• Prostration of constrictor muscle.
• Proctal polypus.
• Pointed rectal condyloma.
• Diverticular disease of colon.
• Chronic cicatrizing enteritis (Crohn's disease).
• Ulcerative colitis.
• Irritable bowl syndrome.
• Hirschsprung disease.
• Dolichocolon.
• Megacolon.
• Angiodysplasia of intestinal tract.
• Tumors of straight and large intestine.
• Diffuse colonic polyposis.
• Acute intestinal obstruction.
• Intestinal parasite.

The first thing a proctologist does is asking about patient’s complaints, other diseases and infections that a patient earlier had or has now. Some large intestine diseases can have family reason that is why a proctologist can ask a patient about relatives’ diseases. After getting the necessary information, a proctologist examines a patient and offers the methods of examination of large and straight intestine.

Examination of a proctologist is necessary to identify a preliminary diagnosis and making a treatment plan, especially in case of pain and inflammation. A doctor prescribes medicine that can release symptomatology. In case of disease, it is necessary to have full check-up, including instrumental methods, such as proctosigmoidoscope and anoscopy. A part of pathologies examined by a proctologist can be treated with medicine and additional drug-fee methods, but other pathologies can be treated only with surgery. Usually, doctors try to avoid  traumatizing methods.
