Proctologists are responsible for preventing, diagnosing, and treating ailments that affect the colon, anus, and rectum, generally caused by haemorrhoids, fissures, tumours, and fistulas.

Who is it for?

If you have signs of inflammation of the perianal area, bleeding in your stools, difficulty in defecation or suppuration and patches of pus in your underwear, among other symptoms, a proctologist is the right specialist to examine you.

What does it include?

When you arrive for your consultation, the proctologist will ask you a series of questions about yourself, giving you the opportunity to talk about your symptoms. You will also be asked about your lifestyle, any existing illnesses, your genetic history, and medical history. The doctor will then perform a brief physical examination to check the condition of the perianal area and the interior of the anal canal. Based on this, the doctor will determine what type of tests are necessary to get a clear diagnosis and will assess whether surgery is needed.

Documentation required

If you have recently been seen by another medical centre other than CreuBlanca, please bring with you the results of any diagnostic tests so that your doctor can review them. If you had these tests at any  CreuBlanca centre, you do not need to do this. You must show identification at reception upon arrival.
