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.

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।
