Video Procto-sigmoidscopy (R) Price in Bangladesh

What is Video Procto-sigmoidscopy (R)?

A Video Procto-sigmoidoscopy (R) is a procedure where a flexible tube with a camera (sigmoidoscope) is used to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon (the lower part of the colon). It helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or bleeding.

The procedure involves minimal preparation, typically including fasting and possibly using an enema to clear the bowel. It is less invasive than a full colonoscopy and typically involves fewer risks, though complications such as bleeding or perforation can occur.

Afterward, patients may experience mild cramping or bloating. Results are usually provided quickly, and biopsies may be taken if necessary for further analysis.

What to expect & how to prepare

Video Procto-sigmoidscopy (R) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Video Procto-sigmoidscopy (R) result rather than self-diagnosing.
