A member asked:
What alternatives are available for the colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alternatives: In my opinion, a sigmoidoscopy in the office followed by a barium enema(with proper preparation) done in the xray department is an acceptable alternative to a colonoscopy for diagnostic purposes only.
