Rectoscopy

Rectoscopy is used for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the anal canal and rectum.

The examination is painless, but causes a feeling of having an urge to defecate over only a short period of time, which is normal and should not worry you. No sedative injection is necessary.

A rectoscopy should be carried out with symptoms such as

• Complaints of the anal canal and rectum
• Suspected haemorrhoids
• Anal fissures
• Diseases of the rectum

Preparation for rectoscopy

• You do not have to have an empty stomach.
• 2 hours before the examination you have to give yourself at home 2 enemas (Clysmol®) and hold back the liquid for about 5 minutes before you empty your bowels.
