When should you see a proctologist?
You should see a proctologist whenever symptoms appear in the anal or rectal area. Even minor complaints can have various causes — from benign to those requiring prompt diagnosis:
- rectal bleeding,
- anal pain or pain during defecation,
- itching, burning, or irritation,
- a lump near the anus,
- a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying,
- mucus, discharge, or recurring underwear soiling,
- suspected hemorrhoids, fissure, abscess, or fistula.
What does a proctological consultation look like?
The visit consists of a conversation, symptom assessment, and examination. The doctor explains what is being done and why, with the goal of reaching as accurate a diagnosis as possible and selecting the right treatment.
The doctor asks about symptoms, duration, bleeding, pain, bowel habits, chronic conditions, medications, and previous treatment.
This includes assessment of the anal area and a digital rectal exam (per rectum). It is an important part of the visit, but is not always sufficient for a complete assessment of the anal canal.
If needed, the doctor performs anoscopy, which allows direct visualization of the anal canal and lower rectum — areas difficult to assess by palpation alone.
What can be diagnosed during the consultation?
- hemorrhoids,
- external thrombosis / hemorrhoidal thrombosis,
- anal fissure,
- perianal abscess,
- anal fistula,
- rectal polyps and changes requiring further investigation.

Frequently asked questions
Is a proctological examination painful?
In most cases the examination is not painful, though it may cause some discomfort. It usually takes a few minutes; the doctor performs it gently and adapts the scope to the patient's symptoms and tolerance. With inflammation or an anal fissure, discomfort may be greater — the doctor will advise if this is the case.
How should I prepare for a proctologist appointment?
Typically no special preparation is needed — you do not need to fast or routinely use an enema. It is useful to bring any previous test results and a list of medications you take. Before the visit, inform the doctor about blood-thinning medications, chronic conditions, and allergies.
Why is a digital exam alone sometimes not enough?
A per rectum examination allows assessment of sphincter tone and some changes, but does not show the anal canal mucosa in detail. That is why anoscopy is often helpful — it allows direct visualization of the affected area and identification of the source of bleeding.
How much does a proctological consultation cost?
A proctological consultation costs 300 PLN. The price includes a medical history and examination. If anoscopy or another procedure is needed, the doctor will discuss this with the patient before performing it.
Is a referral needed to see a proctologist?
No — no referral is required for a private appointment. You can book directly by phone, via WhatsApp, or through ZnanyLekarz.
