In some cases, the shape of the colon makes it impossible to pass the endoscope as far into the body as the doctor would like.

Your doctor may decide to take a series of x-rays - or even to perform surgery - in order to inspect the hidden area.

Reasons for undergoing a lower GI endoscopy vary. You may have been suffering from one or more of a number symptoms - including blood in your stool, weight loss, chronic irregularity or other problems associated with the digestive system.

Some gastrointestinal symptoms can be warning signs of serious medical problems and you should take your doctor's recommendation to have an endoscopy very seriously.

Luckily, the vast majority of medical problems diagnosed by endoscopy are treatable and you should look forward to improved health and comfort as a result of the information gathered during the procedure.
