A member asked:
What could cause erthematous mucousa in the sigmoid colon found during colonscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That term by itself is not specific.. it means the inside lining of colon in the sigmoid colon was “red” rather than normal “pink”. It could be irritation, infection, inflammation. Would advise discuss with your doctor regarding the results as it pertains to your case and any biopsy results if performed.
