"How Do Women Undergo Examinations in the Gastroenterology Department?"

Female patients visiting the proctology department generally undergo the following examinations: anal visual examination, anal digital examination, anoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy. It is recommended that patients choose a formal hospital.

1. Anal Visual Examination

Anal visual examination mainly involves the doctor touching the anus with fingers and observing whether there are tumors, inflammation, bleeding, and other phenomena around the anus, which can, to a certain extent, judge the severity of the condition.

2. Anal Digital Examination

Anal digital examination refers to an examination method where the doctor wears sterile gloves and inserts fingers into the anus for palpation, mainly to check the skin, mucosa, blood vessels, lymph nodes, and other conditions around the anus.

3. Anoscopy

Anoscopy involves the doctor using an endoscope inserted into the anus to observe the anus and surrounding tissues and to treat the condition according to the severity of the disease.

4. Sigmoidoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy mainly uses a flexible fiber optic tube about 140 cm long with a light source and a miniature electronic camera at its end. The doctor inserts the tube slowly through the anus into the large intestine to check for lesions, ulcers, tumors, and other conditions in the large intestine. In addition, anal X-rays can also be used for examination. By utilizing wavelength and frequency, it can clearly show the soft tissue, bones, intestines, and other areas around the anus, helping doctors diagnose diseases in the anus, rectum, anal canal, and other areas.
