What doctor treats diseases of the rectum?
A family physician can diagnose hemmorhoids and give advice about treatment and how to avoid them, and may even prescribe an ointment to sooth them.
But, to remove hemorrhoids when they get too large, a surgeon is usually called in to do a hemorrhoidectomy. This used to be done by cutting and stitching, then it was done for quite a while by putting a tight rubber donut around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply so it will later drop off. This is called 'hemorrhoidal ligation'.
These days, most hemorrhoidectomies are done by freezing the hemorrhoids with liquid nitrogen to make them die and later fall off. This is the most pain-free method.
Your PCP should be able to help you, or refer you to a proctologist if necessary.

The colon is an organ of elimination. Some of the food we eat goes undigested and remains in the colon. When it stays in, it cakes up in the digestive tract. Here it festers, decays, and turns black.

What is the function of the rectum?
The rectum is a muscular ring that is at the end of the large intestine. Its function is to keep the intestine sealed shut until the need to pass feces arises. When that need arises it assists in the moving of the feces out of the body.
The main function of the rectum is to act as a temporary storage site for fecal matter before it is eliminated from the body through the anal canal. As the food you eat passes through the digestive system, it is broken down and nutrients are absorbed in the stomach, small and large intestines. Fecal matter, which includes digestive juices, bacteria and fiber, continues to move into the lower portion of the large intestine -- the rectum. The rectum holds the feces until you push it out of the body, through the anal canal, by having a bowel movement.
The rectum is made up of muscular walls that are able to expand to hold fecal matter. With this expansion of the rectum, nerves in the area send signals to the brain that you need to have a bowel movement and muscles in and around the anal canal control the action. Adults and older children are able to control these muscles, relaxing them to release the feces from the rectum or contracting them to avoid having a bowel movement.
The function of the rectum is to hold the feces until it is eliminated from the body through the anal canal and anus.
