Narayana Hospital, Guwahati
Comprehensive Care for Anorectal Disorders

The anus and rectum are the final parts of the digestive tract and play an essential role in normal bowel function. Disorders affecting this region are common and may cause pain, bleeding, swelling, itching, discharge, constipation, or difficulty passing stools. Although many anorectal conditions are benign and highly treatable, persistent symptoms should never be ignored, as they may occasionally indicate more serious disease. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and management of anorectal disorders using evidence-based medical treatment, office-based procedures, endoscopic evaluation when indicated, and referral for surgical management whenever required.
