Can I have laser proctology if I have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?

If you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, laser proctology may not always be suitable. Active inflammation in the bowel or rectum can increase the risk of delayed healing and complications. However, if your IBD is well controlled and your consultant confirms that the affected area is stable, laser treatment may still be an option. Your colorectal specialist will review your medical history, current medication, and recent test results before deciding on the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
