Dr. Ismail Shafik will put on gloves and apply lubricant before gently sliding their index finger into your rectum. No preparation is required. The procedure is typically fast and painless.
- Proctoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy: Direct visualization techniques that allow for a close examination of the rectal lining, ensuring early detection of any irregularities.
- Ultrasound & MRI: High-resolution imaging provides detailed insights into the rectal anatomy, helping to assess structural integrity and function.
