A**l fissures are small tears in the a**l lining, and can cause severe pain, an itchy sensation and bleeding during bowel movements.

To prevent a**l fissures, adopting healthy lifestyle habits―including regular exercise, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements―can help reduce the risk of developing a**l fissures.

If a**l fissures do occur, medications to relax the a**l sphincters are the first-line treatment to enable healing. Failing which, surgical intervention such as lateral internal sphincterotomy can reduce pressure and facilitate blood flow to the fissure for quicker healing.

If you experience symptoms indicative of an a**l fissure, consult a colore**al specialist for personalised advice today. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Diverticular disease is a condition in which small bulges or pouches develop in the large intestine.

While diverticular disease may present no symptoms, there are still some early warning signs to look out for:

• Abdominal pain and bloating
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Blood or mucus in stool

Diverticular disease can become complicated with inflammation or infection, or present with severe bleeding.

Should you notice any of the above symptoms, consult a colore**al specialist for a detailed assessment. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

大便带血往往是消化道疾病的一个信号，可能涉及小肠、结肠或直肠等部位。

如果血液呈鲜红色或暗红色，这可能提示出血来自结肠或直肠，其中的常见原因就包括痔疮、肛裂以及较为严重的疾病如结肠癌和息肉。

如果血液呈黑色，则可能提示出血来自胃部或小肠。

要是您在排便时频密出现出血现象，应立即寻求结直肠专科医生的评估，以查明原因并及早治疗。📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Hernias are protrusions in the abdominal or groin area that occur when organs or fatty tissues push through a weakened area of muscle in the abdominal wall.

While hernias are not life-threatening, leaving them untreated could cause them to grow bigger and potentially cause complications.

Untreated hernias can run the risk of becoming strangulated where blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off, causing severe pain, or possibly even tissue or organ failure.

To prevent hernia complications of strangulation or obstruction, seek prompt treatment from a colore**al specialist. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Piles, or haemorrhoids, occur when blood vessels in and around the a**s become enlarged and inflamed.

Characterised by pain, itchiness and the presence of lumps around the a**s, in addition to bleeding during bowel movements, piles can be categorised into varying stages of severity.

Depending on the location and severity of piles, they can be treated via conservative means or surgical treatments to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Our team of colore**al specialists has over 30 years of combined experience with conservative or minimally invasive piles treatment. To schedule a consultation, call us at 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲.

When bowel control becomes difficult and results in the involuntary leakage of stools from the re**um, it can lead to faecal incontinence.

Faecal incontinence can occur in varying degrees of severity, from occasional leakage while passing gas to a complete loss of bowel control.

Most cases of faecal incontinence can be managed with medications and dietary changes but more serious cases will require surgery, which includes different surgical approaches to improve bowel control and quality of life.

If you are experiencing faecal incontinence, know that effective management is possible with the right support and treatment plan. Reach out at 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲 to book a consultation.

当阑尾受阻，导致细菌在内部滋生时，这可使阑尾肿胀并发炎，从而引发阑尾炎。

阑尾炎被视为紧急医疗情况，因为一旦受感染的阑尾破裂，这将使累积的细菌和脓液流入并扩散至整个腹腔，引起严重并发症如败血症、腹膜炎，甚至可能导致死亡。

千万别低估阑尾炎的严重性。若您出现突发性且剧烈的右下腹部疼痛、发烧、恶心及呕吐等症状，请立即就医。📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

An a**l fistula is an abnormal tract that forms between the a**l gland to the skin around the a**s, often the result of a previous a**l abscess that failed to heal properly.

Most a**l fistulas rarely heal on their own and surgery is usually required to prevent further complications, such as recurrent infections that can cause persistent discomfort, swelling and discharge of pus or blood.

The type of surgery depends on the location and complexity of the fistula. The most common approaches are a fistulotomy and LIFT procedure. The former involves cutting open the tract so it heals as a flat scar, while the latter involves removing the infected tissue and sealing the fistula at both ends.

At 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, our colore**al surgeons are skilled in different surgical treatments for a**l fistulas. Call 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲 for effective treatment today.

Colore**al cancer occurs when benign polyps on the colon or re**um wall turn cancerous over time.

Thankfully, with early screening and diagnosis, colore**al cancer can be detected at its early stages to facilitate prompt treatment.

At 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, we offer a range of screening methods to detect abnormalities early. Among the various screening tests, a colonoscopy remains the most robust method for detecting colore**al cancer.

Utilising a thin, flexible tube with a small light and camera, a colonoscopy allows both 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 of the colon as well as 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 of polyps. This ensures any polyps found can be promptly removed before they become potentially cancerous.

If you notice symptoms of abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, re**al bleeding and unexplained weight loss, call 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲 to arrange for a colonoscopy today.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗼𝗵 is a dedicated colore**al surgeon committed to the early detection and prevention of colore**al cancer. With a patient-centred approach and a strong focus on minimally invasive techniques, she provides comprehensive care for a wide range of colore**al conditions, including polyps, colore**al cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and anore**al disorders.

Recognising the rising incidence of colore**al cancer in younger adults in their 40s, Dr Koh actively advocates for timely colonoscopic evaluation in patients under 45 who present with symptoms such as re**al bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, iron deficiency anaemia, abdominal pain, or a family history of colore**al cancer. She believes that early investigation saves lives and that a colonoscopy is not just a diagnostic tool, but a powerful preventive procedure.

A colonoscopy enables the detection and removal of precancerous polyps before they progress to cancer. In younger patients, early assessment can provide reassurance, clarify diagnoses, and establish appropriate surveillance plans for the future.

Dr Koh is committed to delivering safe, thorough, and high-quality colonoscopy with a focus on patient comfort and education. Her practice emphasises evidence-based care, early intervention, and personalised risk assessment to ensure the best long-term outcomes for her patients.
