Michael Shah, a 58-year-old retired construction manager, had a long history of ulcerative colitis, managed with medication for over a decade. Recently, he experienced a troubling flare-up with increased diarrhea, urgency, and mucus in his stool. His gastroenterologist recommended a proctosigmoidoscopy to assess the current level of inflammation in his rectum and sigmoid colon and to check for any dysplastic changes. As a veteran of previous scopes, Michael was less nervous about the procedure itself but worried about what it might find, potential progression of his disease or pre-cancerous signs. The prep was familiar but still challenging. The procedure confirmed active inflammation but no dysplasia. His medication was adjusted accordingly. Post-procedure, he had some bloating but resumed normal activities within 24 hours. Emotionally, he transitioned from resigned worry to a sense of control and cautious optimism, validated in his vigilance and reassured by the clear plan to manage his chronic condition.
