Symptoms & When to Seek Care

You may be experiencing a colorectal condition if you notice:

• Rectal bleeding (bright red blood in stool or on tissue) 
• Pain or discomfort in the rectal/anal area 
• Changes in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea, or narrowing of stool) 
• Difficulty or pain with bowel movements 
• Urgent need to have a bowel movement or loss of control 
• Feeling of incomplete bowel emptying 
• Swelling, lump, or pressure in the anal or rectal area 
• Drainage (pus or mucus) from the anus 
• Abdominal pain or cramping 
• Unexplained fatigue or weakness 
• Unexplained weight loss

If symptoms are interfering with your daily life, it may be time to see a specialist to determine the best treatment approach for your specific condition.

Advanced Treatment Options

Our surgeons offer both traditional and minimally invasive procedures based on your condition and needs.

In many cases, minimally invasive techniques may be used to support a faster recovery and reduce discomfort.

Options may include:

• Laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive/outpatient)
• Robotic-assisted surgery

Both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures can mean smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. In many cases where more complex surgery is needed, advanced tools like the da Vinci® Surgical System use precision instruments and a high-definition 3D camera to give surgeons a full-color, magnified view of the surgical site.
