Proctosigmoidoscopy..sounds old school. what is it used to test for now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding in young: Not every 19 or 24 year old person with GI bleeding needs a full colonoscopy because the chances of colon cancer are verry low. In a young adult with bright red blood per rectum, proctosigmoidoscopy is still appropriate to evaluate the bleeding source.
