Proctologist
A proctologist specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the rectum and anus. To make a diagnosis, the proctologist uses procedures such as proctoscopy (examination of the anal canal) and rectoscopy (rectal examination). During these examinations, tissue samples can also be taken, and polyps and hemorrhoids can be treated. Both procedures carry an extremely low risk and are painless or cause only minimal discomfort. If desired, a painkiller or sedative injection can be administered.
