By looking inside the rectum with a [[Proctoscopy|proctoscope]] or a [[sigmoidoscope]] doctors can diagnose proctitis. A [[biopsy]] is taken, in which the doctor scrapes a tiny piece of tissue from the rectum, and this tissue is then tested. The physician may also take a stool sample to test for infections or bacteria. If the physician suspects that the patient suffers from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, colonoscopy or barium [[enema]] x-rays are used to examine areas of the intestine.
