Proctologist in Almería | Proctology consultation at Clínica San Pío
At Clínica San Pío we offer a specialized proctology consultation, led by Dr. Jaime Jorge Cerrudo, specialist in General and Digestive Surgery.
Anorectal pathologies, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or pilonidal sinuses, are very common and can cause symptoms such as pain, itching, bleeding, or suppuration, significantly affecting quality of life.
Our proctology unit focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the most common conditions in a single appointment. This allows us to resolve problems such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal flaps, and pilonidal sinuses using minimally invasive, safe techniques with a rapid recovery time.
We also offer expert assessment and second opinions for other proctological diseases, such as anal fistulas or perianal hidradenitis.
In addition, we perform diagnosis and clinical guidance in colorectal pathology, including colon and rectal tumors, colonic polyps and inflammatory bowel disease.
Our goal is to provide effective, safe and tailored solutions for each patient, always prioritizing outpatient and minimally invasive treatments, as well as clear and rigorous guidance for patients with proctological or colorectal pathology.
Proctology treatments in Almería
At the proctology clinic in Clínica San Pío, we treat the most common diseases of the anus and rectum using modern techniques and treatments adapted to each patient.
Among the most common problems we treat are:
Hemorrhoids are one of the most frequent reasons for visits to proctologists. They can cause bleeding, discomfort, or a feeling of a lump in the anal area. It is a condition that people often suffer for years due to embarrassment or fear of undergoing surgical treatment.
We can perform the diagnosis and the procedure in the same appointment, in a personalized way and without surgery. It is a quick procedure, well-tolerated by patients, that lasts only a few minutes and allows the patient to receive a direct solution without waiting.
Many hemorrhoids can now be treated with minimally invasive procedures, such as foam sclerotherapy or rubber band ligation.
Anal fissure treatment
An anal fissure is a small tear in the anal canal that can cause intense pain when defecating.
Following an individualized assessment, in many cases we can make the diagnosis and perform the procedure in the same appointment. This allows us to offer prompt, personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs from the very beginning.
In many cases it can be treated with medical treatment or with an injection of botulinum toxin, which relaxes the anal sphincter and promotes healing.
Removal of anal flaps
Anal flaps are folds of skin in the anal area that can cause discomfort, make hygiene difficult, or cause general inconvenience.
The treatment consists of removing them through minor surgery that can be performed with local anesthesia, quickly, safely, and with immediate recovery.
Pilonidal sinus is a chronic inflammatory condition that commonly occurs in the sacrococcygeal region, between the buttocks. It happens when stray hairs penetrate the skin, creating small holes and subcutaneous tracts that can become inflamed or infected.
What is a proctologist?
