What does a colorectal surgery specialist do?

Colorectal surgeons specialise in conditions of the colon, rectum and anus — including colorectal cancer, polyps, haemorrhoids (piles), anal fistula, diverticular disease and inflammatory bowel disease. They also perform screening and diagnostic colonoscopy.

When should you see one?

Consider seeing a colorectal surgeon for rectal bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, piles, anal pain or lumps, or for colorectal cancer screening — especially if you are over 50 or have a family history. Colonoscopy is the gold-standard screening test.

Frequently Asked Questions

General screening is recommended from age 50, or earlier if you have symptoms (rectal bleeding, change in bowel habits) or a family history of colorectal cancer. Your doctor will advise.

Yes. Colorectal surgeons treat haemorrhoids with both non-surgical and surgical options, alongside other anal conditions such as fistula and fissure.

Approved screening colonoscopy and related procedures may be partially claimable under Medisave subject to limits. Confirm with the clinic and CPF Board.
