Accurate, in-office and surgical diagnostic evaluation to identify the cause of your symptoms — the first step toward the right treatment.
Rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, and pelvic floor symptoms can all point to a range of different conditions — from minor and easily treated to those needing more specialized care. Getting an accurate diagnosis first is what allows Dr. Asad to recommend the right treatment the first time, rather than guessing based on symptoms alone.
Looking specifically for colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy? Visit our Colorectal Cancer Treatment & Screening page for details on that pathway.
In-office visual examination of the anal canal to diagnose hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other rectal conditions — quick, with no sedation needed.
Focused diagnostic workup and targeted treatment to identify the underlying cause of lower GI bleeding and bowel changes.
Specialized assessment and treatment planning for pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic constipation, and fecal incontinence.
Diagnostic surgical biopsy and soft tissue mass excision for comprehensive pathological evaluation.
Minimally invasive exploratory surgery to diagnose unexplained pelvic issues, abdominal pain, or internal masses when other tests are inconclusive.
That's exactly what the first consultation is for. Describe your symptoms via WhatsApp or in person, and Dr. Asad will recommend the most appropriate — and least invasive — test to get you an accurate answer.
Many colorectal and anorectal symptoms overlap, so Dr. Asad starts with a thorough history and, where possible, an in-office examination — often reaching a diagnosis in the same visit. Further testing is recommended only when it will meaningfully change the treatment plan, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.
Anoscopy and proctoscopy are quick, in-office examinations of the anal canal and lower rectum, used to diagnose hemorrhoids, fissures, and other local conditions without sedation. Colonoscopy examines the entire colon under sedation and is the tool used for colorectal cancer screening — see our Colorectal Cancer Treatment & Screening page for details.
Rectal bleeding is most often caused by common, treatable conditions such as hemorrhoids or fissures, but it should never be assumed without evaluation, since it can occasionally signal something more serious. A focused diagnostic workup identifies the cause quickly so it can be properly treated.
A small tissue sample is taken from an area of concern, often during an endoscopic or in-office examination, and sent for pathological analysis. Biopsies are typically quick and are the definitive way to characterize a lesion or mass.
Diagnosis starts with a detailed history and physical examination of pelvic floor function, chronic constipation patterns, and continence. Based on findings, further specialized testing may be recommended to guide targeted treatment.
Imaging (ultrasound, CT) is usually tried first and is often enough. Diagnostic laparoscopy is reserved for cases where imaging and other tests leave the cause of pelvic or abdominal pain unclear, allowing direct visual examination and biopsy if needed through small keyhole incisions.
