Service Providers for Video Proctoscopy (M)
A Video Proctoscopy (M) is a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera (proctoscope) to visually examine the rectum and anal canal. It helps diagnose conditions such as hemorrhoids, tumors, anal fissures, or inflammation. The procedure typically requires minimal preparation, like fasting and using an enema to clear the area. It is a relatively simple and quick procedure with minimal risks, though complications like discomfort, bleeding, or perforation can occur. Patients may experience mild cramping or a feeling of fullness afterward. Results are generally available shortly after the procedure, with biopsies taken if necessary for further evaluation.
