What can i expect during a proctologist exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anoscopy: A complete exam by a Proctologist will include the examination of the skin & area around your anal opening as well as a digital rectal exam where the doctor will feel for masses inside the anal canal and rectum. Proctologists typically perform an anoscopic examination with a device called an anoscope used to evaluate the hemorrhoids & anal canal and rectum. Some may also perform a sigmoidoscopy.
