Description

Proctoscopy examines the rectum and lower colon for symptoms like bleeding or pain, typically costing ¥500–¥1000 in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital appointments and interpreter support.

Main Uses

The primary purpose of a rectoscopy is to visually examine the lower part of the large intestine (rectum) for signs of disease. It is commonly used to investigate symptoms such as rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or persistent abdominal pain. Additionally, it can be used for screening and surveillance in individuals with a history of colorectal polyps or cancer, or as a follow-up procedure after treatment.

Normal Range

A normal rectoscopy does not show any abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, or inflammation. The mucosa should appear smooth and pink without signs of bleeding, ulceration, or other irregularities.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Rectoscopy itself does not produce numerical values; thus, the concept of 'low' is not applicable. However, if no significant findings are observed, it could indicate a healthy rectum or that any symptoms may be due to non-structural causes like functional bowel disorders, dietary issues, or minor conditions not visible during the examination.

High Values - Possible Causes

Similarly, 'high' values do not apply to rectoscopy. Abnormal findings might include the presence of polyps, tumors, inflammation, ulcers, or bleeding, which can be indicative of conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diverticulitis, or hemorrhoids.
