Proctologists – Anal Pain Specialists

Anal pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit the
Proctology Institute (Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, and
Huntington Beach locations). Our proctologists will perform a
comprehensive evaluation to properly diagnosis the cause of your anal
pain. Same-day consultations are available. The most frequent causes of
anal pain diagnosed by our proctologists tend to be hemorrhoids
(thrombosed external hemorrhoids), anal abscesses, or an anal fissure.
Both of these conditions typically result from difficult defecation with
heavy straining or constipation due to a hard fecal consistency.

Patient Testimonial

Dr. Ghodsian is the best in his field! I was able to book an
appointment for an urgent matter, and he was able to see me within a
very timely manner. He was absolutely attentive and listened to all my
concerns, asked all of the necessary questions, did not jump to any
conclusions, and knew exactly what the next step should be. Very
thorough and all around amazing proctologist. And his office is
spectacular 🙂 Highly recommend!! ~ YELP

How is anal pain
treated by a proctologist?

Once the cause of your anal pain has been determined by the
proctologist, it can be treated. Depending on the cause, anal pain may
be relieved through changes in diet, consistent hydration, and by
avoiding any abrasive actions such as rubbing or scratching the anal
opening. Your proctologist may provide topical medications to treat the
area or may perform an in-office treatment or outpatient surgery
depending on the cause of your anal pain.

What is anal pain?

Anal pain is precisely what it sounds like – pain in the anal and
perianal region which includes the anus and rectum. Generally, it is
caused by a tear or anal fissure and may become more severe during and
after bowel movements. Muscle spasms in the anal sphincter can also
cause pain in the pelvic floor, such as with Levator Syndrome or
Proctalgia Fugax. Anal pain may be caused by hemorrhoids as well as
anal/rectal cancer.
