How can i find a gi doc in ma that uses a rigid proctoscope? can not do flexible because of allergy & clean out. problem low rectal/anal area.

The clean-out for...: ...a rigid sigmoidoscopy is the same as for a flexible sigmoidoscopy. Not sure what you gain by insisting on a more limited, more uncomfortable, more risky rigid exam. Also, what "allergy" concerns you here? Perhaps we can help if we understand better your concern(s).
