What is done during a proctological examination? made?

Proctological complaints affect many people – but hardly anyone likes to talk about them. These complaints often involve very specific limitations: pain when sitting, blood in the stool or on toilet paper, itching or an unpleasant feeling of pressure. Common causes are haemorrhoids, fissures or inflammation – conditions that can be treated.

At Nutricum we rely on a discreet and thorough assessment, coupled with a holistic approach: Because these complaints are often related to the state of the intestinal flora, lifestyle, or chronic stress. We take our time – and work with you to find a solution.

Overview

Proctological complaints come in many forms – and almost all of them have one thing in common: they are unpleasant, but treatable. At Nutricum, we take your symptoms seriously and create space for a respectful, medically sound assessment. Here is an overview of the most common complaints and conditions we treat:

  • Hemorrhoids

    Enlarged vascular cushions at the anal opening. Often noticeable due to burning, oozing or bleeding during bowel movements. Depending on the severity, we treat conservatively, with herbal or medicinal support – or initiate further therapy.

    Anal vein thrombosis

    A painful, usually sudden blood clot on the edge of the anus – not dangerous, but very unpleasant. We can alleviate your symptoms and explain how you can prevent them in the future.

    Mucosal lacerations (anal fissures)

    Fine tears in the anal mucosa, often associated with sharp pain and bleeding, are primarily treated with relief, wound care, and, if necessary, accompanying measures such as nutrition or microbiome strengthening.

    Fistulas

    Connections between the intestine and skin that can arise due to inflammation. We carefully diagnose and plan the next steps together – if necessary, in collaboration with specialized surgeons.

    Lichen sclerosus

    Unpleasant itching in the genital area isn't always a vaginal yeast infection. Sometimes it's also due to lichen sclerosus. Based on our many years of experience, we provide careful diagnosis and comprehensive advice.

    Anal tumors & skin changes

    Not every change is threatening—but every one should be taken seriously. We carefully examine any abnormal areas and, if necessary, initiate further diagnostic testing.

  • Chronic constipation or fecal incontinence

    Both can severely limit your quality of life – we examine the underlying causes: functional, muscular, nervous, or even psychosomatic. The goal is a holistic solution that makes your everyday life easier again.

    Rectal prolapse

    A visible or noticeable protrusion of parts of the intestine through the anus. Even though this issue may seem stressful, there are medically proven ways to treat it – individually tailored and carefully supported.

    Pain or itching in the anal area

    Whether acute or long-standing, we find the cause: skin irritation, inflammation, infections, or reactions to skincare products. Our diagnostics help us provide targeted treatment rather than just soothing relief.

    Genital warts (condyloma)

    Viral changes in the genital and anal area that are contagious but treatable. We provide comprehensive information, medically tailored treatment, and discuss protection and preventive strategies with you.

    Skin tags (skin folds around the anus)

    Often harmless, sometimes bothersome—e.g., when sitting, cleaning, or feeling insecure. We can advise you on whether and how treatment might be beneficial.

Customer testimonials

Experiences

Experience speaks louder than any Theory. That's why we give a voice to people who have followed their path with nutricum – honestly, unvarnished and personal.

  • "Highly recommended! After an unbearable odyssey of doctors, I found Dr. Decking and am happy about it. She was able to help me with a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, histamine sensitivity, SIBO, and menopausal symptoms to such an extent that I can eat again according to my circumstances – before the treatment, only 6 foods were possible. With her in-depth specialist and interdisciplinary knowledge and her empathetic manner, she conveys a high level of competence. I feel very well cared for by her and the entire practice team and can highly recommend the Centre for Intestinal Health."

  • "I had been struggling with my digestion for years and tried many things without really making any progress. Thanks to Ms. Decking's thorough examinations, I was finally able to find the causes and treat them specifically. I particularly appreciate that the Nutricum practice takes a holistic view of the person – not just the symptoms. I feel that I am taken seriously, understood and well cared for in every way. A practice that I can wholeheartedly recommend! I am still very happy that I visited your practice and recently even referred my colleague to you. He is also pleased to be taken seriously."

  • "I first became aware of the practice because of my intestinal problems and can highly recommend it. From the very first appointment, I noticed that they don't just work according to a set pattern, but rather take an individual and holistic approach. I particularly liked the fact that they didn't just work on my symptoms, but also thoroughly investigated the causes. It turned out that many of my other problems, such as fatigue and lack of energy, to name just a few, actually have their roots in the intestines. Here, you can sense the passion for health and the joy of helping people sustainably. I was particularly impressed by the comprehensive and varied analyses: Based on detailed laboratory tests, my current health status was precisely determined, and my menopausal state was also taken into account and incorporated into the treatment. Based on these, they recommended targeted supplements in precise dosages, tailored precisely to my needs. In combination with altitude training, which they also offer, I felt a significant improvement and felt much more vital after just a few weeks. Finally, I find the advice to be professionally sound, clearly explained, and at the same time very empathetic. I always felt well looked after and was able to discuss all my questions calmly. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to professionally address not only their intestinal health but also holistic well-being. Except for one time when I found myself in front of closed doors (due to a misunderstanding), I have absolutely nothing negative to say so far. »
