Sigmoidoscopy in Nepal
High-definition examination of the rectum and sigmoid colon with minimally invasive treatment options for lower digestive tract issues, by skilled GI specialists.
What is Sigmoidoscopy?
Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the rectum and the lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon) using a flexible tube with a camera. Unlike a full colonoscopy, which inspects the entire colon, it focuses on the lower digestive tract. It helps to detect early signs of colorectal disease, polyps, early tumors, inflammation, ulcers, hemorrhoids, or cancer.
At Clinic Neo, our sigmoidoscopy test follows strict safety protocols and uses the latest equipment, ensuring a comfortable and reliable examination.
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी भनेको के हो?
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी एक न्यून आक्रामक (Minimally Invasive) चिकित्सा प्रक्रिया हो, जसमा क्यामेरा जडित लचिलो ट्युबको प्रयोग गरेर मलाशय (Rectum) र ठूलो आन्द्राको तल्लो भाग (सिग्मोइड कोलोन) को जाँच गरिन्छ। सम्पूर्ण ठूलो आन्द्राको जाँच गर्ने कोलोनोस्कोपीभन्दा फरक, सिग्मोइडोस्कोपीले ठूलो आन्द्राको तल्लो भागको मात्र परीक्षण गर्छ।
यस परीक्षणले कोलोरेक्टल रोग, पोलिप्स (Polyps), प्रारम्भिक ट्युमर, सुन्निने समस्या (Inflammation), अल्सर, पाइल्स (बवासीर) तथा क्यान्सर जस्ता समस्याहरूको प्रारम्भिक चरणमै पहिचान गर्न मद्दत गर्छ।
क्लिनिक नियोमा सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी परीक्षण अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय सुरक्षा मापदण्डको पालना गर्दै अत्याधुनिक उपकरणको प्रयोगबाट गरिन्छ, जसले बिरामीलाई सुरक्षित, सहज र भरपर्दो परीक्षण अनुभव प्रदान गर्छ।
Conditions Diagnosed & Monitored with Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is crucial for early detection, monitoring, and prevention of lower digestive conditions, including:
- Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Unexplained abdominal or pelvic pain
- Colorectal polyps
- Early-stage colorectal cancer
- Inflammatory bowel diseases (Ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease affecting lower colon)
- Follow-up after abnormal stool tests or imaging

1. Pre-Procedure Consultation / प्रक्रियाअघि विशेषज्ञसँग परामर्श:
Our specialist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and prior reports to determine the suitability of sigmoidoscopy and plan sedation if necessary.
हाम्रा विशेषज्ञले तपाईंका लक्षणहरू, स्वास्थ्य इतिहास तथा अघिल्ला मेडिकल रिपोर्टहरूको समीक्षा गरी सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी आवश्यक छ वा छैन भन्ने मूल्याङ्कन गर्नुहुन्छ। आवश्यक परे सेडेसन (Sedation) सम्बन्धी योजना पनि बनाइन्छ।
2. Preparation Guidance / आवश्यक तयारी:
You will receive clear instructions, including dietary adjustments or enemas, to ensure the lower colon is clean for accurate examination.
सही परीक्षणका लागि ठूलो आन्द्राको तल्लो भाग सफा हुनु आवश्यक हुन्छ। त्यसका लागि तपाईंलाई खानपानमा अपनाउनुपर्ने सावधानी तथा आवश्यक परे एनिमा (Enema) प्रयोग गर्ने सम्बन्धमा स्पष्ट निर्देशन दिइन्छ।
3. Comfortable & Safe Procedure / सुरक्षित र सहज प्रक्रिया:
The procedure is performed with optional sedation. Using a flexible sigmoidoscope, the doctor examines the rectum and lower colon carefully.
बिरामीको आवश्यकताअनुसार सेडेसन (Sedation) को विकल्प उपलब्ध हुन्छ। त्यसपछि चिकित्सकले लचिलो सिग्मोइडोस्कोप (Flexible Sigmoidoscope) को प्रयोग गरी मलाशय र ठूलो आन्द्राको तल्लो भागको सावधानीपूर्वक जाँच गर्नुहुन्छ।
4. Diagnostic Accuracy & Intervention / सटीक परीक्षण तथा आवश्यक उपचार:
High-definition imaging allows detection of polyps, inflammation, or abnormal tissue. Minor procedures such as polyp removal or biopsy can be performed if required.
आधुनिक हाई–डेफिनिसन (High-Definition) इमेजिङ प्रणालीको माध्यमबाट पोलिप्स (Polyps), सुन्निने समस्या (Inflammation) वा अन्य असामान्य तन्तु (Abnormal Tissue) को पहिचान गरिन्छ। आवश्यक परे पोलिप हटाउने वा बायोप्सी (Biopsy) का लागि नमुना संकलन गर्ने कार्य पनि यही प्रक्रियामै गर्न सकिन्छ।
5. Post-Procedure Care / प्रक्रियापछिको हेरचाह:
After the procedure, your doctor explains the findings, advises on diet or medication, and outlines any further treatment or follow-up plans.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
A sigmoidoscopy is used to examine the lower part of the large intestine, mainly the rectum and sigmoid colon. It helps detect problems like polyps, inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, infections, and early colorectal cancer. It is commonly advised for symptoms such as blood in stool, bowel habit changes, or lower abdominal pain.
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी परीक्षण ठूलो आन्द्राको तल्लो भाग (रेक्टम र सिग्मोइड कोलोन) जाँच गर्न प्रयोग गरिन्छ। यसले पोलीप, सुन्निने, अल्सर, रक्तस्राव, संक्रमण र प्रारम्भिक क्यान्सर पत्ता लगाउन मद्दत गर्छ। दिसामा रगत देखिनु, दिसाको बानीमा परिवर्तन वा तल्लो पेट दुखाइ हुँदा यो परीक्षण गरिन्छ।
The main difference lies in how much of the colon is examined. Sigmoidoscopy examines only the lower part of the colon (rectum and sigmoid colon), while colonoscopy examines the entire large intestine.
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी र कोलोनोस्कोपीबीचको मुख्य फरक जाँच गरिने आन्द्राको भाग हो। सिग्मोइडोस्कोपीले केवल आन्द्राको तल्लो भाग (रेक्टम र सिग्मोइड कोलोन) जाँच गर्छ भने कोलोनोस्कोपीले सम्पूर्ण ठूलो आन्द्रा जाँच गर्छ।
Yes, some bowel preparation is needed for sigmoidoscopy, but it is much simpler than colonoscopy prep. Usually, a rectal enema or mild laxative is enough to clean the lower bowel.
हो, सिग्मोइडोस्कोपीका लागि आन्द्रा सफा गर्नुपर्छ, तर यो कोलोनोस्कोपीको तुलनामा धेरै सजिलो हुन्छ। प्रायः रेक्टल इनेमा वा हल्का रेचक औषधि प्रयोग गरेर तल्लो आन्द्रा सफा गरिन्छ।
No, sigmoidoscopy is usually less uncomfortable than colonoscopy. Most patients feel only mild pressure or cramping, and sedation is often not required. As the scope travels a shorter distance and the procedure is quicker, discomfort is minimal and well tolerated.
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपी सामान्यतया कोलोनोस्कोपीभन्दा कम असजिलो हुन्छ। अधिकांश बिरामीले हल्का दबाब वा ऐंठन मात्र महसुस गर्छन् र प्रायः निढ्स आवश्यक पर्दैन। नली कम दूरीसम्म मात्र जान्छ र प्रक्रिया छोटो हुने भएकाले दुखाइ न्यून हुन्छ र सजिलै सहन सकिन्छ।
Recovery after sigmoidoscopy is very quick. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few hours. Mild gas or bloating may occur but usually settles quickly.
सिग्मोइडोस्कोपीपछि रिकभरी छिटो हुन्छ। अधिकांश बिरामी केही घण्टाभित्रै सामान्य काममा फर्किन सक्छन्। हल्का ग्यास वा पेट फुल्ने समस्या हुन सक्छ, तर चाँडै निको हुन्छ।
