Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a test that a doctor uses to check the inner lining of your rectum and the lower part of your colon. You may get this test if you have certain gut problems, such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits. It’s also one of the tools that doctors use to check people for colon and rectal cancer. A sigmoidoscope is a long, flexible tube that’s about half an inch in diameter. It has a tiny light and a miniature camera. A doctor uses it to view the lining of the rectum and the lower third of the colon.
