Sigmoidoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the lower part of the large intestine, specifically the sigmoid colon and rectum. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a skilled gastroenterologist in Indore, offers advanced sigmoidoscopy services to help diagnose and manage various lower gastrointestinal conditions effectively.

Overview of Sigmoidoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera, called a sigmoidoscope, through the rectum to visualize the sigmoid colon and rectum lining. This minimally invasive procedure allows for the detection of inflammation, polyps, ulcers, bleeding, and early signs of cancer in the lower colon.

It is a valuable tool for investigating symptoms such as rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, and lower abdominal pain.

Indications and Conditions Diagnosed with Sigmoidoscopy

Common reasons for undergoing sigmoidoscopy include:

• Evaluation of rectal bleeding or blood in stool

• Investigation of chronic diarrhea or constipation

• Screening for colorectal polyps and cancer in the lower colon

• Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis

• Follow-up after abnormal colonoscopy or treatment
