Symptoms of disturbances around the breech are very similar. The doctor’s examination is very important for correct diagnosis and treatment. Patients who often hide their complaints due to the sensitivity of this region, try to resolve their complaints with medicines used by others or drugs obtained from pharmacies without the knowledge of the doctor. This common situation causes unnecessary waste of time and late diagnosis of important underlying diseases. Patients who have the above complaints to try the “hearsay” treatment methods, not paying attention to their ailments with the thought of “somehow pass” will cause their disease to progress and reach a more difficult stage of treatment.
If you suspect the symptoms and signs mentioned above, you should be examined by a general surgeon and some examinations should be done.
Anamnesis (Disease Story)
The doctor listens carefully to the patient’s complaints. The purpose of this interview is to reveal the characteristics of the patient and the course of the disease. The duration and frequency of the patient’s complaints, diet type, defecation habits, factors that may cause aggravation of the disease and familial history are evaluated.
Examination
In the diagnosis of hemorrhoids, finger examination is usually sufficient. The patient’s comfort during the examination in the breech area will be important for the diagnosis and diagnosis of the disease. In some cases, anoscopic (examination of the breech canal with the help of a tool) and rectoscopic (examination of the last parts of the large intestine with the breech canal with the help of a tool) may be required. The examination should be carried out in an environment that will not cause the patient to be embarrassed. During this examination, the doctor must also examine the rectum of the rectum, the last part of the large intestine, and the finger. In this way, the existence of other conceivable diseases is also investigated.
Finger Examination in Hemorrhoids Disease
Endoscopic Examination (Anoscopy – Rectosigmoidoscopy – Colonoscopy)
Direct eye examination of the large intestine is called endoscopy. This procedure is called anoscopy if it is done only for breech, rectosigmoidoscopy if it is done for the end parts of the large intestine and sigmoid colon, and colonoscopy if it is done for the entire large intestine.
At least a rectosigmoidoscopy should be performed for differential diagnosis in a patient with a complaint of blood from stool. Other diseases that can cause bleeding may be overlooked. For example, if an early stage colon cancer that causes bleeding during defecation is not noticed and is treated incorrectly as hemorrhoid disease, it should be remembered that it may cause serious health problems in the future. Therefore, endoscopic examinations are definitely used for differential diagnosis.
