Who is a Proctologist?

Proctologists are surgeons who identify and manage conditions affecting the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the rectum and anus. However, the term "proctologist" is somewhat dated. The terms "colorectal surgeon" or "colon and rectal surgeon" are more commonly used today. Read on to discover more about these highly educated specialists, the disorders they identify and treat, and the warning signs that suggest you should consult one.


What are the qualifications of a Proctologist?

It takes many years of training to become a proctologist, which includes:

  • A bachelor's degree requires four years of college
  • Medical school lasts four years.
  • completing a five-year general surgery training program successfully
  • Training in colon and rectal surgery for an additional year

What does a Proctologist do?

Proctologists are physicians who have completed years of training in a subspecialty and have put their skills into practice by performing colonoscopies and other surgical procedures. Additionally, accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment of colorectal disorders are essential skills for their training. All surgical issues involving the sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus are their area of expertise.

  • Hemorrhoids
  • Rectal disorders
  • Incontinence
  • Anal fissures
  • Abscess drainage
  • Rectal and colon cancer

Proctologists use their training to specialize in rejuvenation procedures in addition to performing surgery to treat medical conditions. These methods can help to "restore" the grip of the digestive tract in areas that have lost it. Proctologists, for instance, can help tighten the anal sphincter in cases of leakage or incontinence by using surgical techniques.


What diseases does Proctologist treat?

Intestinal disorders are treated by colorectal surgeons. These parts of the tract are the colon, rectum, anal canal, and perianal region. The following are gastrointestinal system disorders:

  • Fistulas and abscesses- These infections are in the region of the rectum and anus.
  • Anal skin growth- These are tiny skin bumps that surround the anus.
  • Rectal and colon cancer- The colon, or rectum, is where this cancer develops.
  • Diverticulitis- Pouches develop in vulnerable locations along the digestive tract as a result of this disease.
  • Fissures- These tiny rips in the anal lining are present.
  • Hemorrhoids- Internally or externally, these swollen veins can be found near the anus.
  • IBD, or inflammatory bowel disease- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are two inflammatory disorders that fall under the IBD umbrella.
  • IBS or irritable bowel syndrome, causes bloating, cramping, constipation, and diarrhea. These are all possible IBS symptoms, which are a group of intestinal symptoms unrelated to IBD.
  • Polyps- These tumors have the potential to develop into colorectal cancer and are precancerous growths.
  • A rectal prolapse- The rectum starts to slide into the anal opening under these circumstances.

The following sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be treated by colorectal surgeons:

  • Chlamydia
  • Herpes genital
  • Gonorrhea
  • Syphilis

Common problems you should see the Proctologist for

There is a visible or palpable external anal lump, most likely a hemorrhage

  • An STD (sexually transmitted disease) may be present in the anus discharge
  • A sore, red swelling on the buttocks might be an abscess (a pus-filled pocket) Blood in the urine
  • A change in the size or frequency of your bowel movements

For which symptoms should one consult a Proctologist?

  • Your colon, rectum, or anus may be the source of your anemia, which is characterized by a low red blood cell count.
  • You should get a screening colonoscopy because you turned 50.
  • You require a follow-up colonoscopy because you once had polyps.
  • You require testing for a genetic disorder because you have a strong family history of colon polyps or colorectal cancer.
  • Diverticulitis, a colon infection, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease, also known as IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), all call for surgery.
  • You are trying to find options to treat your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • OTHER is a general category. You should see a colorectal surgeon for a number of other important factors related to your anus.

When should I go to the Proctologist?

You might not think to seek out a colorectal surgeon until a different medical professional suggests it to you. However, in the event that you experience symptoms like:

  • Itch or burns in the anals
  • Bleeding from the anus or other discharge
  • Rectal or anal pain
  • Bowel incontinence

Understanding the full scope of all your symptoms is crucial for a colorectal surgeon. They'll have a harder time diagnosing you and figuring out which treatments you need if they don't know about all of your symptoms. It is therefore imperative that you communicate openly with your colorectal surgeon. If not, you might undergo pointless tests or suffer from delayed diagnosis and treatment.
