Sigmoidoscopy: A Key Tool for Digestive Health

At Star Surat Piles & Colorectal Clinic, Dr. Bhavin and Dr. Naresh offer sigmoidoscopy services to ensure the health of your lower digestive tract. A sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for the examination of the rectum and the lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon). This test is crucial for detecting early signs of colorectal diseases and other digestive disorders.

Why Should You Have a Sigmoidoscopy?

A sigmoidoscopy can be recommended for various reasons, including:

• Screening for Colorectal Cancer: Particularly for patients at risk or as part of regular health checks for individuals over 50.
• Diagnosing Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Such as rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, unexplained abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.
• Detecting Polyps and Growths: Small growths, such as polyps, can be identified and removed to prevent them from becoming cancerous.
• Monitoring Pre-Existing Conditions: It helps in managing conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease by monitoring changes in the colon.

The Sigmoidoscopy Procedure

During a sigmoidoscopy at Star Surat Piles & Colorectal Clinic, a thin, flexible tube with a camera (called a sigmoidoscope) is gently inserted into the rectum and lower colon. This allows the doctor to view the area for abnormalities. The procedure is typically quick, with minimal discomfort, and often does not require full sedation.
