• You’ve had abnormal results on a colonoscopy
• You require surgical treatment for a GI condition not resolving with medication

Q: Do all hemorrhoids require surgery?
A: No. Many hemorrhoids can be treated with lifestyle changes or office procedures. Surgery is recommended if symptoms are severe or recurrent.

Q: What is laparoscopic colorectal surgery?
A: It's a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions and a camera to perform colon or rectal surgery. It often leads to faster recovery and less postoperative pain.

Q: When should I worry about blood in my stool?
A: Rectal bleeding can be a sign of hemorrhoids, fissures, or something more serious like colorectal cancer. It’s important to consult with a specialist for proper diagnosis.
