What Happens at Your Proctology Appointment
The consultation starts with a conversation about your symptoms and history, followed by a short, private examination. Most visits end with a clear diagnosis and plan the same day.

Diagnostic Tests
- Digital rectal examination — a gentle gloved examination
- Proctoscopy / anoscopy — a short tube to view the anal canal and lower rectum
- Sigmoidoscopy — examines the rectum and lower colon
- Colonoscopy — examines the whole colon, with biopsy if needed
- Imaging — CT or MRI, for example to map a complex fistula

Proctologist or Gastroenterologist?
A gastroenterologist manages digestive disease medically and performs endoscopy; a colorectal surgeon who practises proctology can also operate when an anal or rectal condition needs it. For symptoms at the anus or rectum, a proctologist is usually the right first appointment. The distinction is explained in colorectal surgeon vs gastroenterologist [/colorectal-surgeon-vs-gastroenterologist/].
