Probably
the only time we must have heard about colonoscopy would be
while watching a Hollywood movie or sitcom, where the guy schedules a
colonoscopy and comes out all irritated yet satisfied. This brings us
to the fact that yes, we do have something called a colon, an entire
colorectal system, in fact, that regulates how the food that enters
our body exits it. Proctology is the study of the same system,
which is made up of the anus, rectum and the colon, all of which
determine waste regulation in our body. A number of problems may
arise in the nether regions, like piles, constipation, hemorrhoids,
colorectal cancer, anal cancer, albeit rare, anal fissures and what
not. It is very common to see these problems among the general
population and hence several proctology practices, and that too
successfully, are running in the urban regions of Noida, Delhi,
Gurgaon and the likes.
Diagnostic procedures for the colorectal abnormalities include
colostomy, polypectomy, colectomy, strictureplasty, hemorrhoidectomy
, colonoscopies etc. These are extremely vital to assist
proctologists in colorectal surgeries. Technologies like
sigmoidoscopy, defecating proctography, and proctoscopy are other
vital technological tools used by proctologists to successfully
alleviate the pain of their patients. So, since such a wide network
of doctors thrive on the practice of proctology, it is needless to
say that no one is alone in their problems of the excretory system,
and help should be sought boldly and in a timely fashion.
