What is a Colorectal Disorder?
Several diseases can interfere with the normal functioning of the colon. Because the symptoms of different colon and rectal disease can closely resemble those of other such diseases, there is the potential for misdiagnosis and mistreatment. This is a crucial reason why these diseases should be treated by colon and rectal surgeons, experts in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of colon and rectal problem.
Research has demonstrated that early screening and treatment of colon and rectal diseases can significantly improve outcomes, yet many patients delay or don't seek treatment because of lack of knowledge about their disease and its symptoms or the benefits of early treatment, or are too embarrassed to seek help.
