Symptoms

When should you see a proctologist?

Many symptoms may seem minor at first, but they are signs that something is wrong. You should seek medical advice if you notice:

Bleeding during or after a bowel movement
Pain, burning, or pressure in the anal area
Itching or discomfort that makes it difficult to sit
Lumps, swelling, or growths near the anus
Changes in bowel movement patterns
A feeling of incomplete emptying
Important! Do not self-medicate. Symptoms characteristic of hemorrhoids may also indicate more serious intestinal diseases. Only a specialist can make an accurate diagnosis. Early diagnosis helps avoid more complicated treatment in the future.

Symptoms that may indicate proctological disease:

How does a proctologist consultation work?

At the start of the visit, the proctologist asks the patient about symptoms, medical history, previous examinations and medications taken.
A proctological examination or digital examination is then performed in a separate room.
During the examination, the patient lies on his left side, with his legs in his lap.
This position allows the proctologist better access to the rectal area.
During the examination, the proctologist wears gloves and gently examines the bowel with his finger using a special lubricant.
The digital examination allows the proctologist to assess the rectal wall and sphincter tone and diagnose haemorrhoids or ruptures.

If necessary, the proctologist may use a proctoscope or an anoscope – a short, lighted tube – to visually inspect the anal canal and the lower part of the rectum.
After the consultation, the proctologist may prescribe additional diagnostic tests, such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, to better assess the patient’s gastrointestinal health.
At the end of the consultation, a treatment plan is drawn up.
