Advanced Treatment for Colorectal Conditions

Pilonidal Disease

Pilonidal disease is a chronic infection of the skin in or near the buttock crease. It usually occurs when hair follicles become infected and create a cyst. Treatment typically involves surgical incisions, which allow an infection to drain.

Retrorectal Tumors

A particularly rare type of growth, retrorectal tumors develop in the space between the rectum and tailbone. Because of how uncommon they are, these tumors require diagnosis and care from a qualified specialist.

Anorectal Pain

Anorectal pain occurs in the area including the anus and rectum. If you are experiencing pain in your anus, rectum, or anywhere around your buttocks, you should see a colorectal specialist as soon as possible. Dietary modifications, over-the-counter medication, or surgery may be necessary.

Anal Dysplasia

If these lesions develop, they may be a precursor to anal cancer. If you have been exposed to HPV or have had anal warts, you may be at greater risk of developing dysplasia.

Colorectal Cancer

Rectal Prolapse

Diverticulitis

The colon can develop pockets called diverticula. These can become infected and inflamed, causing severe pain. While changes in a patient’s diet and medication can help relieve diverticulitis, some patients will require colon resection surgery.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation along all or part of the digestive tract. IBD typically affects younger patients, but can occur at any age. While no medical cure exists for IBD, the specialists at CRSSNY can help patients manage pain and relieve other symptoms.

Hemorrhoid

Hemorrhoids occur when small cushions within and around the anus become inflamed, causing bleeding, itching, irritation, and pain. While some stages of hemorrhoids can be treated with medication and changes in diet, some require surgery.

Anal Ulcers

Anal ulcers can arise from sexually transmitted diseases, anal itching, drug side effects, chronic anal fissures, Crohn’s disease, and other factors. We provide diagnosis and treatment of anal ulcers to ease symptoms and facilitate healing.
