Dysplasia Specialist Proctologists Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport
Beach & Huntington Beach
Anal dysplasia can be diagnosed and treated by the best in class
proctologists of the Proctology Institute of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills,
Newport Beach & Huntington Beach. Anal dysplasia is a condition
where abnormal cells line the anal canal. Although anal dysplasia
typically starts out with mild changes in the cellular architecture,
anal dysplasia can eventually progress to high-grade lesions, a common
precursor to cancer. Thorough testing will be employed by your
proctologist to confirm the presence of anal dysplasia.
What causes anal dysplasia?
Anal dysplasia is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and has
been associated with some common risk factors including:
- Multiple sexual partners
- Anal receptive intercourse
- HIV/AIDS
- Anal warts
- Anal ulcers
- Women with a history of cervical or vulvar cancer
What are the symptoms
of anal dysplasia?
The symptoms of anal dysplasia are not always easy to spot and may be
confused with other disorders such as anal warts or hemorrhoids. Common
symptoms include:
- No symptoms
- Bleeding
- A mass at the opening of the anus
- Pressure or pain
- Mucous discharge
- Swollen glands in the anus or groin
What is a
High-Resolution Anoscopy, or HRA?
A High-Resolution Anoscopy is a surgical procedure where the mucosa
or lining of the anal canal is visualized under high-power microscopy in
the operating room. The anal canal is stained with acetic acid and
Lugol’s solution. Areas of dysplasia will be biopsied and
electrodesiccation or “burned” to allow new tissue to regrow without
dysplasia.
How is anal
dysplasia diagnosed by a proctologist?
Your proctologist can diagnose anal dysplasia with an anal pap smear
or high-resolution anoscopy, known as HRA. A biopsy is necessary to
provide a definitive diagnosis of anal dysplasia.
How is anal dysplasia
treated?
