Colonoscopy was done and there was hemorrhoid’s found in the last portion of small intestine. Causes?

May 11, 2011 2 Comments »

So my mother had a colonoscopy done and she forgot to question her doctor about the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s in the last part of the small intestine. The last part is found to be the ileum, because it goes from duodenum, jejunum, to the ileum. Does anyone recognize the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s there? All help appreciated! Thankfulness!

    do you mean polyps? hemorrhoids are found in the rectum and anal area, not in the top of the colon.

    Okie Dokie! Let’s set the record straight. A colonoscopy looks at the colon (large intestine) not the small intestine. The colonoscopy makes the journey through the colon by way of the anus, up the descending colon, across the transverse colon, nearly the bend and down the ascending colon and if successful finally reaches the cecum. At this point the doctor starts looking pro abnormalities and polyps while retracting the colonoscope. After the scope is nearly completely retracted, the doctor turns the scope to look at the rectum and that’s when they will see the hemorrhoids.
