Flexible sigmoidoscopy

3 Replies

Hello wonderful ladies!

Have any of you had a flexible sigmoidoscopy to check for Endo in your bowel?

I have got to have this procedure and although I've read the booklet, I wondered what it is really like!

Is this procedure good at detecting bowel Endo?

Any advice on the bowel prep?

Best wishes,

Barbara x
