Diagnosis in Proctology

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Dr. Niranjan P may recommend:

• Physical Examination – External and internal inspection of the anal and rectal region.
• Anoscopy/Proctoscopy – Using a small scope to view the rectum and anal canal.
• Colonoscopy – Examining the entire colon for abnormalities.
• Imaging Tests – MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound for detailed assessment.
• Biopsy – If suspicious growths are found.

Treatment Options

Depending on the condition, severity, and patient health, treatment may be:

1. Non-Surgical Management

• High-fiber diet and hydration for constipation relief
• Medications for inflammation, infection, or pain
• Sitz baths to soothe anal discomfort
• Lifestyle modifications to prevent recurrence

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Laser Surgery for Piles and Fistulas – Less pain, quicker healing
• Rubber Band Ligation – Cutting off blood supply to haemorrhoids
• Sclerotherapy – Injection treatment for small hemorrhoids
• Fistula Plug or Glue – For closing abnormal tunnels

3. Advanced Surgical Procedures

• Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery – Minimally invasive removal of diseased colon/rectum sections
• Stapler Surgery for Haemorrhoids – Faster healing with less discomfort
• Fistulectomy/Fistulotomy – Surgical removal of fistula tracts

• Cancer Surgery – Resection of malignant tumors with precision

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Proctology Surgery

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery times vary depending on the condition and treatment method:

• Lifestyle Guidance – Avoid prolonged sitting, lifting heavy objects cautiously, and maintain good hygiene.
