A member asked:

Could anyone explain the reasons why my sigmoid colon is remarkably thickened?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How do you know?: What makes you think your colon is thickened? Did a doctor tell? If so, you should ask that doctor. It is quite likely that your colon symptoms are part of your anxiety disorder and not an organic issue.
