When Should You See A Colorectal Surgeon?
It is advisable to consult a colorectal surgeon if you experience persistent symptoms that may indicate a lower gastrointestinal condition, such as unexplained rectal bleeding, ongoing changes in bowel habits (including persistent diarrhoea or constipation), chronic abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or an unexplained abdominal lump. Individuals with a personal or strong family history of colorectal cancer, colorectal polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should also seek specialist advice regarding appropriate colorectal cancer screening, including colonoscopy where indicated. In addition to diagnostic evaluations, consulting a colorectal surgeon is important for the assessment and management of conditions such as anal fistulas, severe haemorrhoids, anal fissures, or colorectal cancer, as well as for discussing whether minimally invasive or non-surgical treatment options are most appropriate.
