High Resolution Anorectal Manometry

High-resolution anorectal manometry is performed to evaluate patients with bowel dysfunction (constipation and/or faecal incontinence). This test measures the pressures of the anal sphincter muscles, the sensation in the rectum, coordination, and the neural reflexes that are needed for normal bowel movements. It helps identify the specific factors that may contribute to your symptoms and plan the best management options.
