About Proctology
Proctology treats conditions of the anus and rectum, such as piles, fissures and fistulas. These are common and treatable, but many people delay seeing a doctor out of embarrassment.
Fibre, fluids and avoiding straining help many. Rectal bleeding that is dark, persistent or with weight loss needs a colonoscopy to exclude other causes.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Fees, availability and outcomes vary by doctor and hospital.
