"BOWEL: The left-sided colon including rectosigmoid colon is collapsed. Normal appendix. Stomach and small bowel are unremarkable" what does this mean?

Dr. Herman Hammerstead, University of Louisville School of Medicine Answered Sep. 2, 2014
48 years experience in Surgery - Trauma
Unclear question. What are your complaints??? If this is an incidental reading of an X-Ray then it's just a normal variant. Why did you get a X-Ray.
