I had my consultant appointment on Tuesday this week after waiting 7 weeks and was expecting my Sigmoidoscope in a good few weeks after that. But it's now next wednesday :ohmy:
I'm glad it's soon really, It's just routine hopefully as I've had some blood when I've gone the toilet a couple of times recently.

The information says I will have a enema before hand, I thought I would just have laxatives at home or something but wasn't expecting an enema. Has anyone had this before their Sigmoidoscope in Hospital. What does it entail ?
I'm more worried about this and what happens than the sigmoidoscope.
Am I best eating certain foods before the enema, It doesn't say anything in the information.

Just want to get it all over with now as easily and soon as possible so I can forget about it as my mind is spinning at the moment.

Hi, you said you have had some blood when you went to toilet, sorry to ask but was that after a motion or just on its own?

Yes it was after, But I don't remember being constipated or forcing anything.
