Q1: I made an appointment at Proctology but if I got a period on the day, should I re-arrange my appointment?

However, if you are not comfortable, then please change your appointment accordingly.

Do you know about anal cancer?
It is fairly rare, much less than colorectal cancer.
Sometimes rectal bleeding is the first sign of anal cancer, but people who have anal cancer usually think they have hemorrhoids.
Other signs and symptoms of anal cancer are pain, lump, itching and unusual discharge from the anus.
It is difficult to know what kind of disease you have when you notice symptoms around anal opening, anal cancer, colorectal cancer, hemorrhoid, fissure or inflammatory disease.

Breast lumps are common symptom, and most lumps aren’t breast cancer.
Furthemore, even if you find a lump by yourself, it may not be a “true lump”.
The feel and texture of the breast is different one by one. And many women’s breasts feel lumpy.

Bowel habits can vary from person to person,so I always ask our patients about their bowel movements (frequency, color, syape of stools, hard or soft or watery stools).
Sometimes they ask me “what is the ideal bowel habits by the way??”

It is a method of surgery to rebuild the shape of women’s breast with self tissue or an artificial implant after removing all or part of a breast for treatment of the breast cancer.
In Japan, only self tissue transplant has been covered by national health insurance for long time but since July 2013, artificial breast implant has been covering as well.

We confirm your menstrual cycle not only for breast care but also proctologic point of view.
It is because your bowel movement might become irregular and unstable due to menstrual cycle.
Before start period, progesterone hormone is secreted to reduce construction of the uterus.
This hormone restrict peristaltic motion of the colon as well, and then it cause constipation.

Previously, when I diagnosed my patients need to have surgical treatment, I told them to go to our cooperation hospitals having a surgical operation.

If they hoped for an operation by my performance, I adjusted to be able to do the operation in cooperation hospitals on Wednesday morning.

We prepared surgical equipment and started to perform day surgery here; mainly for Proctologic case.

We call breasts with high density mammary gland as “dense breast”.
Mammary gland looks white on mammography, and it is the same as cancer.
Which means it is not always easy to detect lesions only by mammography if your breasts are dense breast.
Density of mammary gland will be decrease with age but the ratio of dense breast is high among Asian postmenopausal women.
