Anal and intestinal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fistula, anal fissure and so on are diseases with high morbidity rate, and the incidence of rectal cancer has also had a significant upward trend in recent years. Therefore, timely and correct diagnosis and treatment of anorectal diseases is particularly important. Patients can better cooperate with the doctor will further improve the diagnosis and treatment effect, the following is my work summed up some patients need to pay attention to the matters, I hope it will be helpful to you: 1, clothing: because most of the patients in the Department of Anorectal Sciences to carry out local anorectal examination, so do not wear more difficult to get rid of the clothes and pants (including shapewear underwear), in recent years, the popularity of the one-piece pants are also best not to wear. Shoes are best worn without laces, and women are advised not to wear boots that are particularly difficult to remove. 2, makeup: do not wear heavy makeup, the best face. This is conducive to the doctor to observe the patient’s face color, lip color (for example: there are some long-term blood in the stool patients will lead to anemia, through the diagnosis can be initially diagnosed). Try not to wear jewelry, especially bracelets, watches and other wrist ornaments, so as not to hinder the doctor’s pulse. 3, eating: come to the clinic in the morning, the morning can be fasting. This way, if you need to do blood biochemistry, abdominal ultrasound and other tests will not have to make another trip to the hospital. (Most of the colonoscopy, electromyography, anorectal manometry, etc. need to draw blood before the examination, except for hepatitis B, AIDS and other infectious diseases). Even if you come to the clinic after eating, you should choose food with lower coloring content to avoid staining the tongue and affecting the doctor’s observation of the tongue. Some patients have the habit of scraping the tongue, please do not scrape the tongue by yourself before the consultation, so as not to affect the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment. Some patients have odor in their mouths and are used to chewing gum before consultation. In fact, in addition to listening to the patient’s condition, there is also the meaning of smell. Some patients with constipation will have bad breath, which is one of the bases used by the doctor to justify the treatment. In short, please let the doctor see the real patient, do not hide the truth of the condition because of embarrassment. 4, defecation: anorectal disease patients, the doctor wants to carry out anal fingerprinting and anoscopy, so please try to empty the bowels after the consultation. Otherwise, you can only touch the feces in the intestinal cavity, which will affect the diagnosis. If you have blood, mucus or diarrhea in the stool, you can keep a stool specimen at home and bring it to the hospital for testing. Or you can ask the doctor to prescribe a test first, then go to the toilet to keep a stool specimen, and then go to the clinic for examination after you have emptied it. 5. Answer the doctor’s questions: During the consultation, the doctor will ask some questions to initially analyze the patient’s illness, such as: how are you uncomfortable/how are you not well? Do not answer what you think is the disease, such as: I have hemorrhoids / I am colitis, unless it has been diagnosed. To say your symptoms, such as: blood in stool, anal pain, anal swelling prolapse during defecation, perianal itching, skin flap around the anus, and so on. Let the doctor determine your illness. If you have a past history of similar illness, you can state it after the doctor asks, e.g., you had hemorrhoid surgery ten years ago/colitis three years ago. When the doctor asks about the duration of the disease, please state the exact time period, e.g.: three days, six months, five years, twenty years. Do not say: a long time / not long / just now / some days, etc. ambiguous time. When your doctor asks about your bowel movements, please be careful to state your bowel habits, whether they occur once or several times a day, and whether they have changed recently. When your doctor asks about your past history, please indicate any previous surgeries and any medical conditions such as thyroid disease, gynecological disease, diabetes, etc. These conditions can sometimes have a negative effect on bowel movements. These diseases sometimes have a certain effect on defecation. 6, specialized examination: in the anal fingerprinting and anoscopy, the patient more or less will feel some swelling discomfort, first of all, relax, which can reduce the discomfort brought about by the examination, the anal sphincter contraction will aggravate the pain when tension. If you really feel the pain is intense can be explained to the doctor, do not suddenly dodge during the examination, which is more likely to increase the discomfort, the doctor is not easy to check clearly. In the colonoscopy because to inject gas into the intestinal cavity, there will be abdominal distension and discomfort, if you can not tolerate and the doctor must say, do not just endure, in the examination is completed, you can go to the toilet to discharge the intestinal cavity of the gas, you can quickly relieve the discomfort. 7, the last is to listen to the doctor’s advice: many patients because of fear or shyness and unwilling to check the delay. Although the anorectal examination more or less discomfort, but most patients can still tolerate. Generally, there are both male and female doctors in anorectal department, if you don’t want to let a doctor of the opposite sex to examine you can ask which day there is a doctor of the same sex before seeing. It would be a shame to delay treatment because of fear or shyness.
