Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the lower colon and rectum. At Maple Gastro Care, Hyderabad, we provide advanced sigmoidoscopy services for detecting colorectal cancer, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ensuring early diagnosis and treatment.
It is a diagnostic procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is used to examine the sigmoid colon and rectum. It helps detect abnormalities like polyps, inflammation, and tumors and is commonly used for cancer screening or investigating rectal bleeding.
The doctor reviews your medical history and provides preparation instructions, including fasting.
A sedative is given for comfort. The doctor inserts a flexible tube through the rectum to examine the lower colon, remove polyps, or take biopsies if needed. The procedure lasts 10-20 minutes.
Some bloating or mild discomfort may occur but subsides quickly. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
