A member asked:
What does it mean that my colonscopy was stopped due to stricture at sigmoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narrow spot: This means they were unable to progress safely due a narrow area in the sigmoid colon. This could indicate a sharp turn due to prior abdominal surgery, which made it difficult or colon surgery with a stenotic (narrowed) connection. Most concerning is that if this is a true stricture we worry about malignancy. This should be clarified with your treating physician.
