Read this page to find out if you, too, need a Proctologist Doctor, and how a proctology visit develops.

What is proctology?

Proctology is that branch of Medicine that studies and treats diseases of the last part of the intestine, namely rectum.

For completeness, Proctology often falls under Colonproctology, which studies and treats the entire colon, i.e., the large intestine.

Usually Proctology falls under the competence of several other specialties, usually surgical, such as Vascular Surgery, General Surgery, Gastroenterology et similia.

The Physician trained in Proctology is the Proctologist who is usually also a specialist Surgeon.

What can proctology treat?

Proctology (from Greek procto, anus, and logos, study) is a super-specialty of Medicine, focusing exclusively on the rectum and anal canal.

In fact, it is precisely this last part of the intestine that can be affected by a large number of pathologies, almost all of them very disabling, requiring specific preparation and study.

Among the many afflictions that Proctology can treat, we can mention:

• Pathological hemorrhoids and their prolapse;
• Lesions of the anorectal canal that do not heal (anal fissures)
• Anal fistulas;
• Perianal abscesses;
• Inflammations of the anorectal canal (proctitis) and anal orifice (anitis);
• Anal condylomata (anal warts);
• Carcinomas of the rectum and anus;
• Chronic constipation

More generally, any pathology or otherwise pathological condition that may affect the anorectal canal or the colon itself can be framed as an interest of Proctology.

Who is the proctology physician?

The Proctologist is a Physician who has decided to specialize in the study and treatment of diseases of the rectum, anus, and colon.

He or she is usually a surgical specialist, that is, from an exquisitely surgical specialty school, such as Vascular Surgery, General Surgery or Emergency Surgery, but can also be from Gastroenterology, for example.

Regardless of his specialty, the Proctology Physician needs a great deal of prior experience to operate and give real help and support to his patients, since Proctology, lacking a dedicated Graduate School in most of the Countries, must necessarily be learned in the operational field.

That is why, usually, the best Proctology Doctors are professionals with decades of practicing Medicine behind them.

When may the proctologist be needed?

The Proctology Physician is necessary whenever one wants to go to investigate a problem afflicting the anorectal canal, such as the presence of a hemorrhoidal prolapse or anal fissure.

The Proctologist Doctor, in addition to his experience, is equipped with specific diagnostic tools, which are used precisely to go and determine the condition of a small, delicate, and very dark area such as the anorectal canal.

These instruments are the anoscope and proctoscope, which, in state-of-the-art practices, are now connected to advanced high-resolution video cameras that allow the proctologist a total and exhaustive view of the entire area to be explored.

What does the proctological examination consist of?

The proctological examination, not unlike other specialist examinations, consists of four basic steps:

• Anamnesis, where the Proctologist collects all data regarding the patient's medical history;
• Diagnosis, where the physician, after the appropriate clinical examination and any specialized tests, comes to a conclusion about the health question for which the patient is making the referral;
• Therapy, where the physician proposes to the patient the medical-surgical-behavioral acts necessary to solve the problem;
• Prognosis, where the physician estimates the possibility or not of recovery, and how soon the outcome can be achieved

For the diagnosis of these proctological, the Proctologist Physician usually divides the examination into three parts:

The abdominal examination, where the patient is palpated and auscultated with the phonendoscope, to assess any inflammation (colic chord), presence of excess gas (aerophagia), and to assess proper bowel movement (peristalsis);

The proctological examination, where the Physician inspects the patient's anal and perianal area first visually, then by performing, in a gentle and painless maneuver, digital inspection of the anal canal, looking for suspicious growths (hemorrhoids, polyps or condylomata) and also assessing sphincter tone;

The Electronic Endoscopic Videoproctoscopy examination, where the Proctologist, with the help of a proctoscopic tube and a high-definition video camera equipped with suitable lighting, performs an inspection of the entire anorectal canal, from the ampulla of the rectum to the anal orifice, looking for lesions or any kind of abnormal condition of the last part of the intestine.

All these steps are carried out without pain, with appropriate relaxing techniques for the anal muscles, and accompanied by abundant lubrication, so the patient has nothing to fear.

What is Electronic Endoscopic Videoproscopy?

Electronic Endoscopic Videoproctoscopy is a specialized examination that complements every proctological examination, and aims to investigate the anorectal canal with maximum precision.

It is performed by connecting a 130-mm proctoscopic tube to a high-definition camera, which in turn is connected to a handpiece in which there are attachments for an air insufflator and a light source.

The handpiece can also be opened with rapid manual procedure to allow the Proctologist to act directly in the anal canal with surgical instruments.

The camera attached to the proctoscope allows a high-definition view of the anorectal canal, displayed on a computer screen and magnified about 20 times.

The light source ensures effective illumination during inspection, and the air insufflation pump allows the physician or his technical operator to open the anal canal sufficiently to allow inspection of its edges.

Thanks to the high resolution of the examination, even sub-millimeter polyps, or condylomatous lesions, or even early stages of hemorrhoidal pathology can be accurately diagnosed.

The exam then has the advantage of also being digitally reportable, on optical media (DVD or CD-Rom), or even sent by e-mail to the patient.

Throughout the examination, the Physician can record the inspection and store it digitally, thus turning it into a valuable diagnostic report useful for comparing future stages of the patient.

Electronic Endoscopic Videoproctoscopy is not an invasive examination, is not painful, and requires no preparation prior to its performance: the patient can therefore perform it even if he or she has not defecated, and no preparatory enema is required.

Why should the proctological examination never be postponed?

A proctological examination is the only specialist examination that can shed light on pathologies of the anus and rectum.

Many patients, frightened that they may experience pain during the visit, or blocked by unwarranted shame, often procrastinate indefinitely meeting with the Proctology Physician, resorting to it only when their situation has become untenable.

This is the case, for example, with patients with hemorrhoidal prolapse, who often, unjustifiably, only turn to the Proctology Physician when the condition of their prolapse is very severe, with situations of genuine suffering.

This is unacceptable and unjustifiable: the patient should not fear the proctological examination, but he or she should, however, fear the consequences of not treating anorectal pathology in time.

The proctological examination is not painful, it is not risky, and it should not be considered embarrassing: the Proctology Physician who performs it, regardless of his or her gender, is a professional who is used to seeing patients and helping them, precisely because of these problems with such delicate parts.

When should you seek proctological examination?

As a general rule, a proctological examination should be used whenever a problem is experienced involving the anus, rectum, or even the colon.

For example, a Proctology Physician should be contacted when:

• Bleeding from the anus is experienced during or shortly after evacuation;
  
• Traces of blood are noted on toilet paper, underwear, or feces;
  
• There is pain or burning when evacuating;
  
• There is deep pain in the anus during the expulsive act, which persists for hours after defecation;
  
• You notice, for long periods of time, abnormally colored stools (too yellow or too dark);
  
• One suffers from diarrhea that does not recede after a few days;
  
• One suffers from chronic and stubborn constipation, which makes it impossible to empty regularly;
  
• Small outgrowths on the anal edge are noticeable by touch;
  
• You have had unprotected anal intercourse, and you are in doubt about any proctologic infectious diseases that may have been contracted;
  
• You experience anal itching and burning that does not spontaneously pass after a few days

In all such cases, it is necessary to take action to book a proctological examination, avoiding asking for 'advice' online on Facebook groups or Medicine forums, much less asking for advice from relatives or friends.
