How is colon cancer treated?
Sorry to hear about your father. Colon cancer has 4 stages and treatment depends on the stage and symptoms. It can be either surgery alone or surgery plus chemotherapy. If the cancer is already too advanced then unless obstructed patients get chemotreatment. Please consult with an oncologist and a colorectal surgeon. Best of luck! Get Outlook for Android
Can I get rid of an abscess close to my anus with an antibiotic?
If you suspect an abscess you need a physical examination by a professional who can decide on the treatment. At times they may even pop on their own but still better to be checked out to make sure it doesn't require any further workup or a formal I&D. READ MORE
Rectum itch?
It could be a variety of things such as hemorrhoids, fissure, perianal skin dermatitis, anal seepage, and ingestion of certain foods and drinks. You need to be evaluated by a GI doc or a colorectal surgeon specially if this has been going on for years. Hope this helps. READ MORE
Rectal exam?
Females can have the same rectal pathology as males such as hemorrhoids issues, anal fissure, fistula and cancer. So regardless of the sex if someone has any rectal symptoms they need a rectal exam. READ MORE
Bleeding after a colonoscopy
Hi, this is not uncommon after a polypectomy. The colon prep can also irritate the hemorrhoids which can cause some bright red bleeding too Having said that it should only improve and you should see less and less blood. If that's not the case please reach out to your endoscopist. READ MORE
Opening near rectum after colonoscopy?
You are not supposed to have any kind of holes after your colonoscopy. Holes usually indicate a ruptured abscess or could be a fistula if it hasn't healed in over 2 years. Please reach out to Your Gi doc for a formal examination and he or she can direct you to the appropriate specialist. READ MORE
Diverticulitis ongoing and very painful?
With recurrent attacks you need to see a colorectal surgeon for surgical consultation. Having said that blood per rectum usually does not occur with diverticulitis and other causes need to be ruled out such as colitis. With your symptoms I would strongly recommend to see a specialist. The standard treatment for recurrent attacks is surgical resection. READ MORE
Anal fissure after surgery?
Hi, Perianal itching post-op is not uncommon and could be just postoperative healing. I usually tell my patients to use over the counter anti itch ointments like calmoseptine. I also advise my patients to avoid increase ingestion of food and drinks, which can cause perianal itching like coffee, orange juice, tomatoes, and spicy foods. Hope you feel better! READ MORE
intense rectal pressure after fissurectomy
Hi, your symptoms may or not may not related to recurrent fissure or it could be swollen hemorrhoids. Best way to tell would be to have the area examined and sounds like you are already seeing your surgeon. Sitz baths for the time being can help with the discomfort. Hope you feel better! READ MORE
How often should you have a colonoscopy if polyps are found?
Please check with your endoscopist as it depends on several factors such as pathology, number and size of the polyps, nature of the prep if it was clean enough for an adequate exam, and personal and family history. READ MORE

Colorectal surgery is a field in medicine dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. The field is also known as proctology, but this term is now used infrequently within medicine and is most often employed to identify practices relating to the anus and rectum in particular. A colorectal surgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of anorectal and colorectal conditions (conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus).
As a testament to his success, Dr. Saeed has been the recipient of the On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2016, 2015), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2015), and Patients’ Choice Award (2018).
