Olena Vasylivna Zolotova

Olena Vasylivna Zolotova is a proctologist who completed medical studies in General Medicine, a surgical internship and specialist training in proctology. Her subsequent professional education included further study in coloproctology and a specialist training placement. This background informs her consultations about proctological symptoms and the choice of appropriate investigations.

During a consultation, she reviews the patient's symptoms and medical history, assesses risk factors and explains the next steps for clarifying the cause of the concern. Reasons to seek advice may include anorectal pain or discomfort, bleeding during bowel movements, persistent itching, or noticeable changes around the anus. Bleeding and pain are not always caused by hemorrhoids; diagnosis requires an examination.

She takes part in professional scientific conferences, workshops and practical courses in minimally invasive proctology. The need for additional investigations or treatment is determined after diagnosis and review of individual clinical indications. Whether a procedure is appropriate and where it can be performed are clarified individually following diagnosis.
