How is the condition diagnosed? •Anal electromyography, or EMG, to look for the signs of nerve damage. •Anal manometry, which is done by inserting a thin tube in the rectum to assess muscle strength •Anal ultrasound, which uses a special probe to examine and assess the anal and rectal tissues. •Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency test, to assess the pudendal nerves, which are responsible for controlling the bowel movements •Proctography, which involves the recording of x-ray videos during bowel movements to determine how well the rectum is functioning. •Colonoscopy, in which a long tube, fitted with a camera, is inserted via the rectum to have a clear view of the rectum. •Proctosigmoidoscopy, which involves the use of a tube similar to that used in Colonoscopy. This helps to look for inflammation, scarring or any sort of growth or tumour.
