A member asked:
Colonoscopy showed an area of mild congested mucosa in recto-sigmoid colon. does it sound like ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease?

Not likely: Only biopsies of these areas of the colon during colonoscopy could diagnose inflammatory bowel disease. Usually the doctor performing the colonoscopy will combine his visual findings with the results of pathology from biopsies to make an accurate diagnosis.

Unlikely: Usually this is self-limited and actually often from stress of bowel prep. If they saw anything worrisome, biopsy would give answers.
