I am experiencing pain and discomfort during bowel movements and sometimes notice bleeding. I suspect it could be piles, but I am not sure which doctor I should consult. Should I go to a general physician or a specialist? Please guide.
Riddhi Asked question
For piles (hemorrhoids), you can initially consult a general physician for evaluation. If symptoms are persistent or severe, a general surgeon or proctologist is the appropriate specialist for further treatment.
Early consultation helps in:
-
Accurate diagnosis
-
Preventing worsening of symptoms
-
Exploring non-surgical or minimally invasive treatment options
