i'm new here... please help
I had been diagnosed with IBS and am waiting for another
sigmoidoscopy
. I was trialed on medication once, which didn't work. I get anal fissures almost everyday and the pain and embarrassment is getting too much. How long have others had to wait to get treatment started?

what sort of specialist is best?
During that time I`ve had a colonoscopy, MRI and
sigmoidoscopy
- all overseen by colo-rectal surgeons who lose interest when they can`t find anything that can be rectified by surgery. I`ve now been passed back to the care of my GP and am wondering if it worth asking to see a gatro-enterologist.

Sigmoidoscopy Survived
It was positive news and I was told when I came round that at least as far as the
sigmoidoscopy
reaches my bowel came back clear of Endo and most importantly Dave the nodule hasn't infiltrated all the way through the wall lining from the other side, which from the sounds of it may give me more surgical

Test results help please
I've had 2 ultrasound scans, seen a urologist and had a
sigmoidoscopy
of part of my intestines. All clear. I went gluten free back in September and eat lots of fresh fruit and veg. Here are the results of the blue horizons blood test that I have just had done. Don't know what to do next.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
Hello Folks, Today I've had a flexible
sigmoidoscopy
that looked at the lower part of the colon area- due to ongoing bleeding symptoms spanning across 2.5 years as it's been on and off - though for the past 3 weeks it's been alright.

Sigmoidoscopies
Hello ladies. I wondered if any of you could share what after effects if any you may have had from one of these. I'm meant to be having one under General Anaesthetic on Saturday week and wondering if I need to warn work just in case I may be needing to have the Monday as wfh way or ill. It all seems

I'm new here
I've since had a
sigmoidoscopy
where a polyp was removed but my biopsy was clear and showed no inflammation, so my gastroenterologist has organised another blood test for inflammation and a test for coeliac but said she's sure it's ibs. I've had a very bland diet today but still in so much pain.

In Utter Meltdown - Warning - Trauma Trigger Topic!
After freaking out about the
sigmoidoscopy
i called the secretary, said I was worried and he agreed via the secretary that I didn't have to have it, on which basis I agreed to show up. But I was absolutely in a state of panic when I got there as a manual exam was still meant to happen.

Just been diagnosed...
I'm waiting for a
sigmoidoscopy
and then will either have a laparoscopy or a more invasive surgery on my bowel. All of the above frighten me to bits! The thought of having this "bowel prep" is awkward and painful, or possibly having resection of the bowel which is petrifying.
