What is strict sigmoidoscopy?
sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that the doctor can use to evaluate the health of the patient's rectum and the lower part of the colon or colon. Sigmoidoscope is a tube with attached light that is inserted into the rectum. Flexible sigmoidoscopes are usually used more frequently, as doctors can view more large intestines, while rigid sigmoidoscopes can occasionally be used for some people, such as young patients who bleed. Patients may undergo this procedure to determine the causes of inflammation or bleeding. It can allow doctors to see tumors, polyps and other abnormal growth and diagnose hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. Any medicines that contain iron may need to be interrupted for a short time. The physician may ask the patient to have their own, urine or blood tested before solid sigmoidoscopy. If the procedure is planned, patients should arrange for someone else to take them home from the hospital. Before appointment, patients will have to use rinse withtroop and enema in the morning of strict sigmoidoscopy. It is recommended that people at the meeting wear free and comfortable clothes.
Some patients may prefer a sedative to alleviate any discomfort. Once they are on the tested table, the doctor asks them to lie on the left sides of the knees. The doctor first performs a rectal test with a crank finger before inserting a sigmoidoscope. Then the instrument slowly moves to the lower large intestine while the doctor examines images. Sometimes, the analysis can be removed by polyps or tissue samples.
Sigmoidoscopy usually does not last more than five to 15 minutes. Patients will be asked to lie briefly when they recover. Passing gas can help relieve discomfort.
Patients should discuss potential risks with their doctors before subjugating solid sigmoidoscopy. Very rarely can be torn in the intestine a hole called perfoRace of the intestine, or bleeding may occur if a biopsy or a sample of small tissue is taken. The colon infection after this procedure is also unusual. Patients should immediately inform their physicians if they experience serious abdominal pain, fever or severe rectal bleeding. Immediate medical assistance is required for those who have bloody bowel movement, vomit blood or bile or have a heavy constipation, as well as for those who cannot eat or drink, cannot urinate or have a hard and tender abdomen.
