    FAQ's Related to General surgeon

    A colorectal surgeon specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the colon, rectum, anus, and surrounding structures, including cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, and complex pelvic disorders.

    You should consult a colorectal surgeon if you experience persistent rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal or pelvic pain, unexplained weight loss, or have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer or polyps.

    Commonly treated conditions include colon and rectal cancer, anal cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, rectal prolapse, and severe endometriosis.
