Inese Fišere is a surgeon working in Latvia who specialises in proctology, the field of medicine dealing with diseases of the rectum and anal canal. An article in which she speaks openly about a subject still discussed reluctantly in society is again available in TVNET+, the paid content archive of the news portal TVNET.
The area she treats
Fišere's work covers roughly 10 to 15 centimetres of the human body: the perineal area, the rectum and the anal canal. According to the article's introduction, this is the part of the body people talk about least willingly.
Why the topic matters
The article says that problems in this area can affect anyone at some point in life. They can take away peace and sleep, and interfere with the ability to sit, work and think clearly. That makes open discussion of such conditions relevant not only for doctors but also for patients.
The source describes Fišere as a surgeon in demand in Latvia, whom patients love and respect.
About the publication
The piece comes from the TVNET+ archive and was first published in May. Only a short introduction is available, so the doctor's specific advice is not set out here.
