A member asked:
I have mildly congested mucosa in rectosigmoid junction. does it sound like crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? biopsy came out negative.

Non specific : This is a very nonspecific finding. With biopsy being negative, it would b difficult to say. If only recto sigmoid is involved then its definitely not uc. Ur GI doc will give u the best guess based on ur history, family hx, symptoms etc.
