Specialist in proctology / proctologist
A specialist in proctology deals with the prevention, detection and treatment of diseases of the rectum and anus. The proctologist uses proctoscopy (anal canal endoscopy) and rectoscopy (rectal endoscopy) to make a diagnosis. As part of these examinations, tissue samples can also be taken and polyps and hemorrhoids can be treated. Both examinations are extremely low-risk and hardly or not at all painful. A painkiller/ sedative injection can be administered on request.
