How is a proctoscopy performed?

In general, a proctoscopy involves inserting a proctoscope into the rectum through the anus and slowly advancing it to examine the intestinal tract. The specific procedure is as follows:

1. Before the examination, take laxatives as directed by your doctor to clean out the bowel.

2. Lie on your side with both legs bent toward your abdomen, exposing the buttocks.

3. Perform routine disinfection of the skin around the anus and apply lubricant.

4. Gently massage the anus to relax the anal muscles and perform gentle dilation if necessary.

5. Slowly insert the proctoscope through the anus into the rectum and examine the intestinal lining for any abnormalities.

If this examination is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and have it performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid injury due to improper technique. Please note that the procedure may cause minor mucosal or tissue trauma; after the exam, rest adequately and avoid strenuous physical activity.
