###Human: I underwent sigmoidoscopy. Is intestinal abscess a possibility? ###Assistant: Hi. It could be one possibility that sigmoidoscopy has caused an abscess, but again to prove that a repeat sigmoidoscopy has to be done. But also, there might be other causes like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other infections as well. Also, I wanted to know what was your first sigmoidoscopy finding. I advise you to get one stool culture sensitivity and one stool calprotectin test done and revert back to a general practitioner online -->  Also, if you are unwilling for sigmoidoscopy, you can get capsule endoscopy or MRI abdomen.
