Sigmoidoscopy in Indore

Sigmoidoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to examine the lower part of the colon, known as the sigmoid colon and rectum. Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi specializes in performing sigmoidoscopy in Indore, offering valuable insights into gastrointestinal health and identifying potential abnormalities such as inflammation, polyps, or tumors.

Procedure Overview: During a sigmoidoscopy, a flexible sigmoidoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light—is inserted through the anus and gently advanced into the rectum and sigmoid colon. This allows for direct visualization of the colonic mucosa, enabling the physician to examine the lining of the colon for any abnormalities, such as inflammation, ulcers, polyps, or signs of colorectal cancer.

Indications for Sigmoidoscopy: Sigmoidoscopy is commonly used to screen for colorectal cancer, detect and remove polyps, evaluate symptoms such as rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits, and monitor patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (such as ulcerative colitis) or colorectal cancer for disease recurrence or progression.

Expertise and Patient Care: With his expertise in gastroenterology and advanced endoscopic techniques, Dr. Qureshi provides compassionate and individualized care for patients undergoing sigmoidoscopy procedures. He emphasizes patient comfort, safety, and thorough communication throughout the procedure, ensuring that patients and their families feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Follow-Up and Support: Following sigmoidoscopy, Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi offers comprehensive follow-up care to review the results of the procedure, discuss any findings or abnormalities, and develop appropriate management plans based on individual patient needs. This may include additional diagnostic testing, surveillance colonoscopies, or treatment interventions as necessary to address any identified issues or concerns.
