During the appointment, the proctologist examines the anal area, anal canal, and lower part of the rectum. This makes it possible to detect hemorrhoidal nodes, anal fissures, inflammation, lumps, neoplasms, and other changes that may cause pain, itching, bleeding, or discomfort during defecation.
At the proctology department of «Oxford Medical», anoscopy may also be performed during the appointment if necessary, or other diagnostic methods may be prescribed. If the complaints may be associated with diseases of other parts of the digestive system, the proctologist may recommend a consultation with a gastroenterologist.
Based on the results of the examination and tests, the doctor establishes a diagnosis and selects the treatment approach. The clinic provides treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, paraproctitis, and other proctological diseases using conservative, minimally invasive, or surgical methods — depending on the diagnosis and clinical situation.
