What Is an Anoscopy?
An anoscopy is a medical examination that requires a specialized instrument called an anoscope to look inside the anus and lower rectum, assessing for signs of injury or disease. This procedure helps healthcare providers diagnose various anus and rectum-related conditions by providing a direct view of the anal canal.
What Are the Risks of Anoscopy?
While anoscopy is generally considered safe, there may be mild discomfort or bleeding, mainly if a biopsy is conducted during the procedure. However, these side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. The benefits of anoscopy, such as its simplicity, affordability, and effectiveness in diagnosing anorectal conditions, generally outweigh the minimal risks.
