questions

• Which department should I see for anal pain and swelling?
  Colorectal and Anal Surgery(항문외과) is generally the first department to see for anal pain and swelling, as it specializes in conditions affecting the anus and lower rectum. If a dedicated colorectal clinic is not available nearby, General Surgery(외과) at a local clinic or hospital can also evaluate these symptoms initially. Depending on what the doctor finds, you may be referred to a specialist at a larger hospital for further assessment.
• Which department should I see for rectal bleeding?
  Colorectal & Anal Surgery (항문외과) is generally the first department to see for rectal bleeding, as it specializes in conditions of the anus, rectum, and lower colon. Depending on the suspected cause or findings, a doctor may refer you to Gastroenterology (소화기내과) for further evaluation of the digestive tract.
• Which department should I see for severe constipation?
  Internal Medicine (내과) or a General Practice clinic is usually the first stop for severe constipation, as doctors there can assess overall digestive function and rule out common causes. If a structural or anorectal issue is suspected, you may be referred to Colorectal and Anal Surgery (항문외과) or Gastroenterology (소화기내과) for further evaluation.
