Advanced Anorectal Examination
Video proctoscopy
What is Video Proctoscopy?
Video Proctoscopy is a modern diagnostic procedure used to examine the rectum and anal canal in high detail. Unlike traditional proctoscopy, this technique uses a high-resolution camera attached to a proctoscope, allowing doctors to visualize and record real-time images of the anorectal region. It helps in diagnosing conditions such as piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, fistulas, rectal polyps, and other anorectal disorders with greater accuracy.
Causes of Anorectal Conditions Requiring Video Proctoscopy
Several factors contribute to rectal and anal disorders, including:
- Chronic constipation and straining
- Low-fiber diet and poor hydration
- Repeated infections or inflammation
- Genetic predisposition to anorectal diseases
- Sedentary lifestyle and prolonged sitting
- Pregnancy and childbirth-related rectal issues
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Video Proctoscopy
You may require a video proctoscopy if you experience:
- Persistent rectal pain or discomfort
- Bleeding during or after bowel movements
- Chronic constipation or difficulty passing stool
- Swelling, lumps, or protrusions around the anus
- Itching, irritation, or discharge from the rectal area
- Unexplained changes in bowel habits
Procedure for Video Proctoscopy
