Proctoscopy: A Key Diagnostic Tool for Colorectal Health

Proctoscopy is an essential procedure for diagnosing colorectal conditions. Using a proctoscope with advanced cold light and high-resolution camera technology, air is gently introduced into the rectum to provide a clear view. This enables precise examination of the rectum and up to 25 cm of the colon, with the option for biopsy if necessary.

Why Choose Proctoscopy?
Proctoscopy is ideal for evaluating bright red rectal bleeding, rectal inflammation, surgical anastomosis sites, and rectal prolapse.

What to Expect During Proctoscopy
No anesthesia or numbing agents are required, and the procedure is minimally uncomfortable. Preparation involves using three bisacodyl suppositories and maintaining a liquid diet for 24 hours prior. Unlike colonoscopy, extensive preparation is not needed.

Affordable and Efficient
Proctoscopy is significantly less expensive than a colonoscopy and takes less time. During the procedure, small internal hemorrhoids can also be treated through banding, providing a therapeutic solution when necessary.
