Talk:Sigmoid colon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not do further edits on this page. Edit the page colon (anatomy) and put in the sigmoid subsection anything appropriate. The original sectioning of colon into its parts prevented general edits on the colon from getting into the entries on the subsections. The strategy is to put everything under colon.

i have had part of my sigmoid removed due to colon cancer.

[edit] Sex talk?

the Anal Sex artial mentions damage that can be done to the Sigmoid Colon during unusually deep anal sex. i dont know if a similar mention would be worth noting here (especially with the simple warning against inserting "long" objects into the rectum). my question then is: should we mention anal sex specifically as a risk factor in the sigmoid colon? --Whiteknight 02:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

as an addendum, the anal sex artical also mentions that the sigmoid colon, in places, is as strong as a "wet paper towel." i wonder if that "fact" should be confirmed in this artical, or disparaged in the anal sex artical. --Whiteknight 02:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The sigmoid is a lot stronger than that. Sounds like an urban legend. Could you be so kind to correct it? JFW | T@lk 07:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
