| Anoscopy : What is an anoscopy? An anoscopy is a procedure that uses a special lighted scope called an anoscope or anal speculum. An anoscope allows your health care provider to view the lining of your lower rectum and anus to check for signs of injury or disease. Your lower rectum is the last few inches of your large intestine. This is where your body stores stool (poop) before it passes out of your body. Your anus is the opening of the rectum to the outside of your body. This is where your digestive tract ends and your stool leaves your body. A related procedure is called a high-resolution anoscopy. This procedure uses a special magnifying device called a colposcope along with the anoscope to view these areas. A colposcope may detect small changes in your tissues that the anoscope alone may miss. An anoscopy can help your provider find problems in the anus and rectum, including hemorrhoids, fissures (tears), and abnormal growths. | |
