Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 What does the Sigmoid do???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 A sigmoidoscopy is an internal examination of your lower colon (a colonoscopy examines your entire colon). You must take a " bowel prep " prior to the exam to hopefully completely clean our your colon. Then a scope is inserted into your rectum and advanced upwards to view the internal area of your colon. It is to check for polyps, etc. and is recommended as a screening I believe starting at age 50 (don't quote me on that) and then subsequently as your doctor recommends. A colonoscopy at the age of 55 may have just saved a friend's life by finding a malignant polyp which was subsequently removed and she now has a 95% of complete cure. Follow your doctors orders in other words!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 It's also important to know that you're getting it up the butt.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Lori-- Darvocets have Tylenol in them--ask for Versed--its an IV drug and is pretty good at helping you relax and forget things that are happening. Don't drive though. Caron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
