Allison Malcolm is a gastroenterologist who works from Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards, NSW. She helps people manage gut and bowel health, especially when symptoms keep coming back or affect day to day life. In many cases, that can include things like ongoing constipation, bowel control problems, and bowel pain that is linked to gut function.
Her clinics and care focus on conditions such as bowel incontinence and neurogenic bowel, as well as chronic idiopathic constipation (often called CIC). She also looks after people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), where stress, food triggers, and gut sensitivity can play a big role. Sometimes bowel symptoms show up after changes in medicines too, so she also pays attention to drug induced dyskinesia in relevant cases.
Allison Malcolm also treats a range of other bowel and pelvic floor related concerns. For example, she helps with hemorrhoids, and she can support children and families dealing with intussusception. She also works with levator syndrome, which can cause ongoing discomfort around the rectum and pelvic floor. These are not always easy topics to talk about, but the aim is to keep things clear, practical, and grounded.
Over time, she uses a careful, step by step approach to work out what might be going on. That can mean sorting out bowel habits, reviewing medicines, and thinking about the pattern of symptoms. In many cases, there is more than one factor involved, so the plan may include diet changes, bowel routine support, and treatment options that suit the individual.
Education and experience are built around gastroenterology care and day to day work at a major hospital service. While some patients need straightforward management, others need longer conversations to make sure they feel comfortable and understand what’s happening. The focus stays on helping people get better control of symptoms and improve comfort.
Research and clinical trials aren’t listed as a key part of this profile. But clinical decision making still takes current care into account, especially when symptoms don’t settle or when treatments need to be adjusted.
