Which specialist to consult when having pain in anus?

Proctologist: Both gastroenterologists & colorectal surgeons can help you. They will first perform a visual inspection & digital exam after taking your history as to circumstances, duration, quality, timing of symptoms & your risk factors. They may then determine topical treatment or ask to perform further evaluation of the rectal lining. Symptoms may prove functional (proctalgia fugax) & warrant different rx.

GI specialist: You should see a gastroenterologist or colon and rectal surgeon. They are trained in treating pain in the anus.
