Your colon aids in the body’s ability to absorb water and nutrients from the food you eat. Additionally, here is where your stool develops. Your sigmoid colon is the final section of your descending colon. Your rectum joins it to your anus.
A colonoscopy enables medical professionals to inspect the whole colon. However, occasionally only the sigmoid colon calls for a thorough examination. A sigmoidoscopy will then likely be advised by a physician.
A sigmoidoscopy, also known as flexible sigmoidoscopy, is a treatment that enables your doctor to see inside your sigmoid colon using a flexible tube with a light on it.
Sigmoidoscopy may be necessary to assist identify the origin of your symptoms as they could be symptoms of a number of colon illnesses. A sigmoidoscopy is another common method for colon cancer screening.
