Considering a private sigmoidoscopy? At GoPrivate.com, we have over 20 years' experience matching patients with private diagnostic centres, hospitals and clinics.

Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the lower part of the large intestine, specifically the rectum and sigmoid colon. This treatment is typically performed by a gastroenterologist, a specialist in digestive system disorders. Sigmoidoscopy can help identify various conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, and colorectal cancer. If left untreated, conditions detected during this examination may lead to serious complications, such as bowel obstruction or increased risk of cancer, making timely diagnosis crucial for effective management.

For a consultation regarding sigmoidoscopy, you can expect fees typically ranging from £200 to £300. It is important to note that the costs for the procedure itself can vary significantly depending on the hospital, location, and complexity of the case.

Whether you need a flexible sigmoidoscopy, or a colonoscopy, we have options to compare profiles, do your research or get on the Fast Track to treatment.
