Specializes in Internal Medicine

RECTAL DILEMA : I would get copies of both records and seek a third opinion closer to home from a colorectal specialist . Hemorrhoids are dilated loos vessels in the rectum and can be associated with other rectal issues including rectal prolapse. Seek prompt reevaluation and treatment options
