Proctology – diagnosis and treatment of anal and rectal conditions

Proctology is a field of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the final part of the digestive tract, including the anus, rectum, and surrounding area. For many patients, visiting a proctologist may feel uncomfortable or embarrassing, but it is important to remember that these parts of the body play a crucial role in everyday health and normal bodily function.

There are many symptoms that should prompt a visit to a proctologist. These include chronic constipation or diarrhea, persistent bloating, the presence of mucus or blood in the stool, excessive gas, anal pain, a feeling of incomplete bowel movement, abdominal pain of unclear origin, as well as itching or burning in the anal area. A particularly important role is played by the anal sphincter muscles, especially their strength and proper function.

The proctology specialists at Agamed diagnose and treat conditions such as:

• • Hemorrhoids
• • Genital warts (condyloma acuminata)
• • Anal fissures
• • Anal pain syndromes
• • Anal skin tags
• • Anal and perianal fistulas
• • Pilonidal sinus
• • Anal abscess
• • Colorectal cancer
• • Crohn’s disease

Regular proctology consultations are also recommended as a preventive measure for people with a family history of colorectal cancer.

At Agamed, patients have access to comprehensive proctological diagnostics, including rectoscopy, TRUS (transrectal ultrasound), and sphincterometry. We also perform outpatient procedures such as removal of thrombosed external hemorrhoids, rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids, and incision and drainage of perianal abscesses.

Early diagnosis of conditions affecting the anal area allows diseases to be detected in time and treated effectively. All proctological consultations, examinations, and procedures are carried out with full respect for the patient’s dignity and privacy.

We ensure complete discretion and a comfortable, supportive atmosphere.

General Surgery Clinic – consultations, diagnostics and minor procedures

The role of a general surgery clinic is to provide consultations, assess the patient’s overall health, diagnose symptoms, and determine whether a surgical procedure is necessary. During the first visit, the general surgeon conducts a detailed medical interview and evaluates the patient’s condition.

If needed, the surgeon may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as an X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, soft tissue ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, as well as laboratory tests including blood, stool, and urine analysis. Based on the results, the surgeon decides whether the patient qualifies for a procedure and which surgical method will be most appropriate.

During the consultation, the doctor explains the available treatment options and carefully discusses how the procedure will be performed, what the expected results are, and what potential complications may occur. This helps the patient make an informed decision about their treatment.

Visits to the general surgery clinic also take place after procedures, for example to monitor recovery, care for the postoperative wound, or remove stitches.

In addition to consultations, the clinic can perform minor procedures under local anesthesia that do not require hospitalization. These procedures may involve diagnosis, treatment of certain conditions, or removal of small lesions.

Common outpatient procedures in a general surgery clinic include:

• • removal of small skin lesions such as warts, sebaceous cysts, or fibromas
• • removal of skin nodules and cysts
• • biopsies with histopathological examination
• • treatment of ulcers
• • repair of minor injuries
• • removal of foreign bodies
• • treatment of abscesses

It is worth noting that the scope of procedures performed in a general surgery clinic may vary depending on the patient’s health condition.

Specialists at the gastroenterology clinic focus on the digestive system and related diseases. These include conditions of the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, bile ducts, and pancreas. Gastroenterologists treat both minor issues, such as heartburn, ulcers, or indigestion, and more serious conditions like cancers or chronic intestinal diseases.

A visit to a gastroenterologist is necessary if a patient experiences concerning symptoms. Stomach pain and bloating, though seemingly minor, can lead to serious consequences over time, so it’s important to consult a doctor. Medical attention may also be required for symptoms like heartburn, liver pain, nausea, constipation or diarrhea, feeling of fullness, burping, swallowing difficulties, or loss of appetite. A consultation is also recommended if there is mucus or blood in the stool or sudden, unexplained weight loss.

Gastroenterologists treat digestive system disorders. Sometimes these are minor problems, such as indigestion, heartburn, or stomach and duodenal ulcers. More often, patients come for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, gastritis, gallstones, bile duct inflammation, or pancreatitis. In some cases, the gastroenterologist diagnoses conditions that require consultation with other specialists, such as an oncologist or surgeon. These include appendicitis, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, small intestine, pancreas, or liver tumors.
