What symptoms bring patients to the doctor?
Out of embarrassment, proctological symptoms are often hidden and care is put off. Yet an early examination means simpler treatment. The examination is carried out with the patient's comfort and privacy in mind, using a special numbing gel and individual sterile instruments.

Approach
Working principles
-
Written examination sheet
Since 2012, Dr. Hasanova has been filling out a special examination sheet that she drew up herself for every patient. The location and nature of the problem are recorded precisely, which helps in planning the subsequent treatment.
-
Comfortable examination
The examination is carried out with a special numbing gel and with individual, sterile instruments.
-
The patient sees the image too
During video proctoscopy, the image the doctor sees is also shown to the patient on a monitor.
-
Anesthesia
Most proctological operations are performed under spinal anesthesia, and the patient can stay awake throughout the operation. General anesthesia or light intravenous sedation is also possible; the choice is made together with the anesthesiologist.
-
Follow-up after the operation
During the first month after the operation, the patient is invited to scheduled follow-up visits.
-
Privacy
The entire examination and treatment process is carried out in line with the principles of medical ethics and medical confidentiality.
-
Female surgeon
Female patients often feel more comfortable seeing a female doctor. Male patients are seen as well.

Operations for hemorrhoids, anal fissure, fistula and other proctological diseases common in women are performed by female surgeon-proctologists, and anesthesia is given by female anesthesiologists. When needed, the patient is examined by a gastroenterologist, gynecologist, dermatologist and other specialists, and treatment is planned in a multidisciplinary way.
Shame does not heal, a doctor does!
Is a proctological examination painful?
In most cases the examination involves only mild discomfort. A special numbing gel is used. With a severely painful anal fissure, the doctor limits the extent of the examination according to the patient's condition.
Can hemorrhoids be treated without surgery?
In the early stages, often yes: changes in diet, medications and non-surgical procedures may be enough. In an advanced stage, surgery may be needed.
Is health insurance accepted?
Yes. Patients covered by many insurance companies are accepted. Please call to confirm the current list.
Are male patients accepted?
Yes. Dr. Hasanova sees both female and male patients.
