Procto is a medical term used to describe intestinal diseases. Namely, diseases that are associated with the rectum, anal canal and buttocks. A proctologist is a doctor for a narrower circle of people - women, men and children who lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Having suspected a possible illness in a person, the therapist can refer him to a gastroenterologist. Sometimes the doctor refers you to a proctologist to choose the right treatment tactics.
