What can a sigmoidoscopy biopsy detect?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Had a sigmoidoscopy with biopsy taken last week, still waiting on test results but im really hoping i'll be able to be diagnosed from this.

The doctor said after the sigmoidoscopy that it looks like mild/moderate colitis - will the biopsy results be able to tell them what type of colitis this is?

Thanks
