Defecography

What is Defekografi?

Defecography should be performed for control purposes in excretory problems. If the breech duct and rectum merge, an excretory problem occurs. Imaging service is being performed in our health center in order to monitor and diagnose this problem. With this operation, it is possible to understand what the cause of the problem is.

It also helps us in determining the appropriate treatment. Constipation, urinary incontinence and similar problems are quite uncomfortable conditions. The diagnosis and treatment of these problems are carried out in our health center.

Such problems also affect a person’s daily life. Therefore, you can ensure that the problem is detected by defecography. You can get rid of your problems by getting help from specialist doctors.

Defecography (also proctography) medical X-ray is a radiological test that is used to show the function of the pelvic floor during defecation.

Images of the rectum and surrounding organs are recorded, which can be analyzed by a radiologist to understand anorectal dysfunctions.

The procedure is a type of radiological imaging examination performed to investigate possible conditions of the pelvic floor, rectum or anus, that is, anatomical anomalies that may cause problems during defecation.

The contrast agent is placed in an upright light bulb-like device, which will be visible during the X-ray scan.

How is Defecography Performed?

Bladder and urinary tract problems can be resolved within the scope of specialist physician consultation. Our specialist doctors will help you with this. You can get services from our health center to get detailed information about the subject.

It would be advantageous for you to get help from our health center in order to prevent negative consequences and to undergo a correct treatment process. After making an appointment, you can come to our health center and have a shooting procedure.

Before the procedure, patients need to do rectal cleansing using an enema. The examination process is performed via magnetic resonance or using X-ray.

You should follow the instructions given to you by our medical personnel while shooting. Thanks to this, we are able to obtain accurate results. This test is performed in a special fluoroscopy room while the patient is in a sitting position.

Sometimes similar examinations, described in a magnetic resonance scanner (MRI), do not allow for normal sitting posture.

You will be sitting in a special, X-ray-sensitive chair equipped with a bedside table. During the examination, the doctor will evaluate the process of removing the device filled with contrast medium from the rectum with X-ray scans. This device is used to simulate the natural process of defecation.

It is very important that you follow the doctor’s instructions when you are asked to relax or November your muscles.

Thanks to the X-rays, the doctor will be able to assess whether there are any anatomical problems, such as rectal mucosal prolapse, perineal descent or rectocele.

After the examination, the color of your stool may change due to the contrast medium discharged. The procedure is painless and very safe.

However, in more rare cases, if you have other underlying conditions such as Crohn’s disease or rectocolitis, there may be complications such as local inflammation or intestinal perforation. It is not a painful procedure; however, you may feel a slight discomfort.

Who is Defecography Applied To?

Various problems may occur in the excretory tracts for reasons that are not in the hands of individuals. These problems often have a negative impact on social life.

The thing that people who have the problem we mentioned should do is to get specialist physician help. At this point, our health center comes into operation and offers defecography service to you.

We can point to abdominal pains as the most basic symptom of problems occurring in the excretory system.

Imaging may also be needed in cases of painful urinary problems and similar situations. Excretory problems may be considered insignificant by many people.

This situation, on the other hand, reveals the situation of the emergence of bigger and more serious problems in the future. When you experience discharge problems and similar problems, we definitely recommend that you get services from our health center.

Patients with constipation, diarrhea, Solitary Rectal Ulcer syndrome (SRU), prolapses, rectoceles, cystoceles or enteroceles and other pelvic floor disorders may be asked to have this procedure.

This examination is carried out in case there are other conditions associated with abnormalities during defecation. These can include: chronic constipation, intestinal incontinence , rectal prolapse or a feeling of incomplete evacuation in the surrounding areas or. The testing process can help determine what is causing the problem.

The method uses an X-ray to look at the shape and position of the rectum when emptying. The anal canal is lubricated and a soft plastic insert is inserted through the anal canal into the rectum. The rectum and anal canal are filled with barium paste and the tip is removed.

The X-ray dye is placed in the urinary bladder and vagina. The person drinks barium about an hour before the test, so that the small intestine is revealed. In this way, when the person pushes, everything in the pelvis can be seen.

The person sits on a toilet-like seat connected to the X-ray table, called a defecography chair. The table is placed in an upright position. The person puts his elbows on his knees.

The person is asked to squeeze, push and empty the rectum. The X-ray of these maneuvers is recorded on videotape.

The test shows the rectum when emptying. In this direction, it reveals rectoceles and signs of rectal descent. In women with rectal descent, there is more rectal length in the lower three inches of the pelvis.

A normal rectum should empty in just a few seconds. Ejaculation during rectal descent can last 30, 60 or even 90 seconds, and the rectum may not empty completely.

The lower end of the rectum can be closed before the upper rectum is emptied (flap valve). People with a tight internal anal sphincter have a large bowl-shaped rectum that slowly empties through a narrow, short anal opening that never opens.

People November who have puborectal muscles that do not relax have rectums that do not empty because the pelvic floor November muscles do not relax.

The test findings of rectal descent are as follows:

• Rectocele
• Horizontal rectum during thrust
• Delayed or incomplete rectal ejaculation
• Delayed or incomplete rectocele emptying
• Rectum protruding into the anal canal
• Long rectum in the lower three inches of the pelvis

When done correctly, this examination can identify anatomical problems that can cause problems during defecation.

These can be: insufficient anorectal angle, slow opening of the anal canal or any changes in the rectal wall.

• Invagination of the rectum (falling into itself)
• Rectal prolapse (protrusion of the rectum)
