Proctologists– caring for our anus and rectum regions and the excretory and digestive system

Proctology, essentially, is a branch of medicine as well as physiology that deal with the anus and rectum regions of a human body. The main aim of Proctology is the maintenance of the proper functioning of the anus and rectum regions, examining disorders and diseases that plague the anus and rectum regions and effectively treating them. 

Noida, there are a large number of physicians who specialise in anus and rectum region disease treatment. Patients suffering from acute disorder of the anus and rectum regions, stones in the anus and rectum region or renal caliculi, piles, electrolytic disorders, hypertension et cetera are all treated by these Proctologists. Cancer in the anus and rectum regions is another developing branch of Proctology and the study of such diseases linked with cancer is known as OncoProctology. A Proctologist in Noida’s hospitals or health care centres can be expected to perform dialysis, transplantation of anus and rectum regions, biopsy of anus and rectum regions, management of fistula, biopsy of bones and other minor diagnosis of anus and rectum region related diseases. 

In hospitals in Noida, anus and rectum region related abnormalities are detected by the Proctologist prescribing a large number of imaging tests. These tests may range from a simple ultrasonography or an ultrasound test, and CT scans to advanced angiographies, MRI s, or even scintigraphy, which is a very significant part of nuclear medicine. Renal physicians can provide a large arsenal of treatment options like plain medications, or blood products or even surgical procedures like urology, vascular surgery et cetera, dialysis, anus and rectum region transplantation or replacement, and so on and so forth. All of this goes on to show how much Proctology has progressed till today, and what a very important role Proctologists play in this era. By- Rounak Bose

PROCTOLOGY : OF THE NEGLECTED ORGANS DOWN SOUTH

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.
