Understanding Sigmoidoscopy:
Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that allows the doctor to examine the lower part of the large intestine (sigmoid colon) and rectum. A thin, flexible tube with a camera (sigmoidoscope) is inserted into the rectum to visualize the colon, helping to identify abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or cancerous growths.
Why is Sigmoidoscopy Done?
- Screening for colorectal cancer.
- Evaluating symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.
- Diagnosing inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
- Detecting polyps or abnormal growths in the sigmoid colon and rectum.
Benefits of Sigmoidoscopy:
- Quick recovery
- Minimally invasive
- Early detection
- Outpatient procedure
