What is a proctological examination?
A proctological examination is an essential diagnostic step if you have any intestinal and / or anorectal symptoms. This includes a careful and complete inspection of the anorectal area and, if felt appropriate, a digital rectal examination.
In most cases, a proctoscopy or a rigid sigmoidoscopy is added to complete the examination.

The examination can be useful for the diagnosis of many anorectal conditions, such as faecal incontinence, constipation, obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), anal pain and anismus (pelvic floor incoordination). Manometry can also be used in the perioperative management for haemorrhoids or other minor benign anorectal conditions.
