Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a colonoscopy performed, and my doctor noted that I had a “tortured colon.” His answer was somewhat vague when I asked what caused this condition and if there was anything I could do to mitigate it. Can you give me any more information about this condition? -- L.S.
