Erasing the Stigma of Seeing a Proctologist
Proctologists play a vital role in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus, yet many people feel uncomfortable seeking their expertise due to societal taboos. Unfortunately, a lot of common issues become chronic solely due to the affected individual feeling too uncomfortable to see a proctologist or colonoscopy doctor. This is a common reason why colon and rectal cancer often goes untreated until it's too late.
By fostering open conversations and education about the importance of proctological care, we empower individuals to prioritize their health without fear or embarrassment. We encourage regular check-ups and early intervention for colorectal issues that can ultimately save lives and improve the quality of life for countless individuals. Alabama Colon & Rectal Institute breaks down barriers and ensures everyone can access the care they need.
Colon Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment Center
Our board-certified colorectal surgeons provide comprehensive care for colon cancer patients, offering personalized treatments tailored to each individual. Colon cancer, the third most common cancer affecting both men and women, often begins as adenomatous polyps in the large intestine. Our surgery center emphasizes regular screenings to detect and remove these polyps, as they can progress to cancer without symptoms.
We offer treatments that range from minimally invasive surgeries to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, depending on the cancer's stage. As an AAAASF-accredited facility, ACRIPC ensures confidential, efficient care for colorectal cancer patients. Contact us today for diagnosis and treatment options at "The Butt Hut," or schedule your screening appointment online or by phone at 205-458-5000.
Rectal Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment Center
Colorectal cancer presents distinct treatment challenges due to the intricate anatomy of the rectum, situated near vital organs. Symptoms such as changes in bowel movements, blood in stool, and abdominal pain warrant immediate medical attention, and screening via colonoscopy is pivotal for early detection. At our general surgery center, treatments typically involve surgery, sometimes preceded by radiation therapy and/or followed by chemotherapy.
Alabama Colon & Rectal Institute (ACRI) specializes in colorectal diseases, providing expert care since 1990. Our surgeons focus on helping patients and offer personalized treatments in a supportive environment while participating in medical education and community outreach programs.
