疝气是由于器官或脂肪组织穿过腹壁的薄弱之处而产生的明显隆起。

一旦形成，疝气通常不会自行消失，甚至还会逐渐增大，并引起梗阻或绞窄等严重并发症。

因此，手术往往是根治疝气的治疗方法。结直肠专科医生可通过组织修补或网片修复两种方式进行手术，从而将受影响的器官推回正确位置，并强化受损区域。

若腹部或腹股沟区域出现异常肿块，或者您怀疑自己患有疝气，请拨电 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲 与我们的结直肠专科医生进行治疗。

While stress does not directly cause Crohn’s disease, it can still exacerbate symptoms and trigger flare-ups.

When stress levels rise, this can increase inflammation in the gut and disrupt the balance between the good and bad bacteria, causing symptoms to flare up or worsen.

For those with Crohn’s disease, this can mean chronic abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and blood in stool―symptoms that can greatly hinder quality of life.

If you are struggling with persistent flare-ups, consult with a colorectal specialist for advice on managing Crohn's disease effectively. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Colorectal cancer is the cancer of the large intestine that often develops from benign polyps on the colon or re**um wall that turn cancerous over time.

Surgery is usually the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer, though options will depend on the stage and severity of the disease.

Colorectal cancer surgery may be performed using:

• 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆
A traditional method that involves making a large incision in the abdomen to access the colon or re**um. Often performed for complex cases.

• 𝗟𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆
A minimally invasive alternative that uses small incisions, microsurgical instruments and a tiny camera to remove the tumour. Generally preferred in suitable cases for less postoperative pain, smaller scars and faster recovery.

• 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆
An advanced form of minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, with 3D imaging that enhances precision, flexibility and control.

Colorectal Practice offers various forms of colorectal cancer surgery―including open, laparoscopic and advanced robotic approaches. For more information, visit www.colorectalcancertreatment.sg

Diverticular disease occurs when small bulges or sacs form in the large intestine and become inflamed, causing symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and blood or mucus in stool.

While diverticular disease commonly develops with age, many other factors can also increase the risk of diverticular disease.

If you are a high-risk individual, or are experiencing symptoms, consult a colorectal specialist for a detailed assessment. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Piles (haemorrhoids), the swelling of blood vessels in and around the a**s, is a condition that can become serious if not treated in timely fashion.

Initially, the complications primarily affect the a**l region itself, with issues such as worsening pain, bleeding or a**l itching.

However, as the condition worsens, untreated piles may lead to 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀, where blood clots form in the haemorrhoid tissue, and 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, whereby the blood supply to the haemorrhoid is cut off.

If symptoms of pain and bleeding occur during bowel movements, accompanied by a feeling of a lump in the a**l region, seek help from a colorectal specialist. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

When it comes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), symptoms can overlap, causing confusion between the conditions.

Both conditions share similar symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhoea; however, IBD tends to present with more serious symptoms, which include blood in stools, fever, fatigue and weight loss.

Additionally, unlike IBS, IBD is a far more worrying condition as it can cause inflammation in the digestive tract and lead to colon cancer and bowel perforation if left untreated.

If you have been experiencing persistent abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea, consult a colorectal specialist for a detailed diagnosis. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Utilising a thin, flexible tube with a small light and camera, a 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 screening detects any abnormal growths in the large intestine, and aids in the prompt removal of these polyps before they have the chance to turn cancerous.

Individuals recommended to undergo a colonoscopy screening include those aged above 50, with a family history of colorectal cancer, and with poor lifestyle habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Screening once every 10 years is advisable for those aged above 50 and with no other risk factors. However, at-risk individuals should get screened earlier and more frequently.

It is important to detect colorectal cancer early so that timely and effective intervention can be made. To arrange for a colonoscopy, reach out at 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲.

A**l fissures are small tears in the a**l lining that usually stem from trauma caused by passing large and hard stools, constipation or diarrhoea.

Symptoms of an a**l fissure can be painful and unbearable, adversely affecting one’s quality of life.

To relieve the pain and discomfort caused by a**l fissures, effective treatments are available. Medications, sitz baths and stool softeners can be used to treat most a**l fissures. However, more serious or recurrent cases may require surgical intervention.

If you are experiencing any of the mentioned symptoms, seek help from a colorectal specialist. 📞𝟲𝟮𝟲𝟮 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟲

Commonly associated with pain in the lower right abdomen, appendicitis refers to the inflammation of the appendix.

Types of appendicitis include:

• 𝗔𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 – Symptoms can occur and intensify rapidly within a span of several days or hours, and immediate surgery is crucial to prevent the appendix from rupturing.

• 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 – Symptoms are often less serious, but the inflammation can still worsen and become acute over time.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency, whether acute or chronic, as the inflamed appendix can rupture and release infected material into the abdominal cavity, which can be life-threatening.
