Here For You

Sydney Proctology is dedicated to dealing with all those problems we prefer not to talk about.

Proctology is the study of diseases of the rectum and anus. It dates back to medieval times, but fortunately our knowledge and understanding of these diseases has improved over the centuries. Proctology is now a highly specialised surgical discipline.
