Proctology

What does a proctologist treat?

The field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the colon, rectum and perineum is called proctology. Timely access to a doctor with the appearance of the first complaints will allow treatment to be carried out in the most sparing way on an outpatient basis. If the disease is untreated for a long time, then it is quite unlikely to avoid surgery.

Following diseases in the field of Proctology are treated by doctors of the Center for Progressive Medicine «AVICENNA MED»:

Anal fissure. This is a rupture of the rectal mucosa. Usually treated conservatively. It can occur because of prolonged constipation, diarrhea, trauma.
Hemorrhoids. It is very common. There is an increase in hemorrhoids due to inflammation and possibly their loss from the anal canal. It is provoked by a violation of blood circulation and as a consequence size increase in blood vessels. Often occurs in pregnant women, the elderly and people leading a passive lifestyle. Treatment is usually outpatient, and operational in some cases.
Polyps in the intestine. First a benign formation appears. Because of the asymptomatic development of the disease, the polyp can become malignant, which can be very dangerous.
Paraproctitis. Purulent inflammation of the soft tissues around the rectum is possible due to inadequate hygiene, bad habits, infectious diseases, or trauma of the anal area.
Epithelial coccygeal passage. Congenital pathology, in which a very narrow canal is formed. Can be detected when inflammation occurs.

Recurrent constipation or diarrhea.
