Primary Care
Constipation is the term given to infrequent bowel movements or difficulty with passing bowel movements. There are many causes for constipation some of which include a diet low in fiber and water, medication side effects, lack of regular exercise, and hormone imbalances. A gastroenterologist or primary care physician can determine if any of these causes are the reason for constipation.
Emergency Care
If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 or head to the nearest emergency room. For all other calls, an on-call physician is available 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
Colonoscopy
Diverticulosis is a benign condition that results in out-pouching of the colon wall. It often causes no symptoms and is found during a screening colonoscopy. No specific treatment for diverticulosis is needed as long as it causes no symptoms. If the diverticula become infected, this condition is called diverticulitis. The typical symptoms of diverticulitis include abdominal pain (usually the left lower abdomen) and fever. Initial treatment for diverticulitis includes antibiotics and bowel rest with a liquid diet.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Stomach pain, bloating, and other gastrointestinal issues can indicate that something is wrong, but since both colorectal cancer and irritable bowel syndrome can contribute to these symptoms, it may be difficult to pinpoint the culprit. April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness Month and a great time to get screened for the condition. Early screening can […]

Labor and Delivery
Fecal incontinence is the leakage of stool from the rectum and/or the inability to control bowel movements. It is a fairly common problem but patients are often hesitant to discuss their symptoms with their doctors. The condition can understandably impact a patientâ€™s quality of life. There are many causes for fecal incontinence, including muscle or nerve damage during childbirth, previous anorectal surgeries, and neuromuscular disorders.

Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is usually treated surgically by removing the segment of the colon that contains the cancer, and attaching the ends of the colon back together. Often these surgeries are done in a minimally invasive fashion, using a laparoscopic or robotic approach and small incisions to lessen discomfort and hasten recovery.

Chemotherapy
If rectal cancer is detected at a very early stage, it may be removed through the anus via a special scope and small instruments without an abdominal incision. If it is more advanced, it may require a multidisciplinary approach of abdominal surgery to remove the affected rectum, possibly combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. This surgery is often done in a minimally invasive fashion, using a laparoscopic or robotic approach and small incisions to lessen discomfort and hasten recovery. In some circumstances the treatment for rectal cancer will involve a temporary or permanent ostomy bag. The surgeons at Piedmont Colorectal Associates have extensive experience in treating rectal cancer and can help to decide the best approach for each patient.

Lesions
Anal condyloma is the medical term for anal warts. These growths are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) which is the most common sexually transmitted virus. The lesions are spread via skin-to-skin contact.
Skin Care
Pruritis is the sensation of itchiness or needing to scratch the skin around the anus. It is a very common symptom reported by our patients. There are many causes for pruritis and therefore many treatment options. Many anal conditions (hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulae, etc.) can cause some anal itching and treatment will be aimed at these underlying conditions. In other circumstances there are dietary and/or skin care issues that contribute to the itching. While the cause of the itching is usually benign, pruritis can be very disruptive to oneâ€™s quality of life. Our providers can diagnose the cause of the pruritis and assist the patient in generating a treatment plan.

Physical Therapists

A variety of surgical and non-surgical treatment options exist. These include medical therapy with pelvic floor physical therapy, sphincter muscle repair, and sacral nerve stimulator implant. The providers at Piedmont Colorectal Associates have extensive experience with the treatment of fecal incontinence and can help to design a plan for each patient.
