My girlfriend just had a proctoscopy. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Since you give little information about age, symptoms, I am assuming that she has had some bleeding or constipation. A proctosigmoidoscopy is an office exam to look at the lower colon and rectum for causes of anorectal symptoms. Why not ask her?

When I urinate, I feel pressure in my anal (I urinate while standing). I have anal fissure which is not healed and I'm on medications. Is this due to anal fissure? I had proctoscopy a month ago and It was OK?
