I have had my colonoscopy and this is what they found

Examination was limted due to Distal sigmoid colon. This was because of rigidity of the rectosigmoid junction and mid-rectum from external compression in the pelvis. It was not possible to proceed past the aforementioned point even using a small paediatric colonoscope.

large endometriotic deposit in the pouch of Douglas that is certainly infiltrating the outr wall of the upper and mid-rectum.

Has anyone else had this ?

Hey,

Can i ask what your symptoms are??

I have been struggling with some type of lump/pressure up against my rectum for months now. I am awaiting a colonoscopy. I am wondering if it has something to do with my Douglas Pouch.
