    Area of Science:

    • Proctology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Homosexual men are at higher risk for a broad spectrum of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment of STDs are crucial for patient health and preventing further transmission.
    • Proctologic practice requires specific knowledge for managing STDs in this population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To recommend a diagnostic workup for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in homosexual men.
    • To highlight the importance of recognizing, diagnosing, and treating STDs within proctologic practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed patient history.
    • Physical examination, including proctosigmoidoscopy with biopsy.
    • Microbiological cultures (urethral, pharyngeal, rectal, stool).
    • Darkfield examination for genital ulcerations.
    • Serologic analyses (VDRL, Chlamydia trachomatis, amebiasis).

    Main Results:

    • A comprehensive diagnostic strategy is proposed.
    • The workup includes a combination of clinical assessment and laboratory testing.
    • Specific tests are recommended based on potential pathogens and clinical presentation.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough diagnostic workup is essential for identifying conventional and unconventional STDs in homosexual men.
    • Proctologic surgeons must be proficient in diagnosing and treating STDs.
    • Integrated diagnostic approaches improve patient outcomes and disease control.
