Anal Neoplasia Surgery in Los Angeles

What Is Anal Neoplasia?

Anal neoplasia refers to abnormal cellular growth within the anal canal, ranging from precancerous lesions to early or invasive anal cancer. These lesions are often linked to HPV infection, chronic inflammation, weakened immune systems, or a history of abnormal cervical or vulvar cells. Without proper treatment, precancerous changes can progress, making early detection essential.

Signs and Symptoms of Anal Neoplasia

Anal neoplasia may cause subtle or even no symptoms in its earliest stages. As the condition progresses, patients may experience:

• 
  Anal bleeding
• 
  Pain or discomfort in the anal canal
• 
  Itching or irritation
• 
  A palpable mass or growth
• 
  Changes in bowel habits
• 
  Unexplained anal discharge
• 
  Abnormal lesions discovered during routine screening

How Is Anal Neoplasia Treated?

Treatment depends on the grade of neoplasia, the presence of invasive cancer, and the severity of abnormal tissue changes. While early lesions may respond to topical therapy or surveillance, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and suspicious lesions typically require surgical intervention to prevent progression and ensure complete removal.
