Defecography - evacuation imaging

Defecography is an X-ray examination that allows visualization of the rectum and evaluation of its function. The test can identify internal prolapse of pelvic organs and evaluates the mobility of the anus and rectum. The examination is performed during real-time bowel movements and enables the physician to assess the function of the pelvic floor muscles and rectum.

The purpose of the test is to examine cases of chronic constipation or rectal prolapse. It is performed in the presence of complaints such as fecal incontinence and anismus (excessive contraction of the anus), as well as other types of functional disorders.
