Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
The sigmoid colon's main function is to store all the fecal matter till the body is ready to expel it. Once the body is ready to expel fecal matter, the muscle walls of the sigmoid contract and push the fecal matter to the
rectum which then pushes the fecal matter out through the anus.
Jejunum is the second part of the
small intestine. The stomach is connected to the
duodenum, which is the beginning of the small intestine. This is followed by the jejunum, and the small intestine finally ends with the
ileum.
Yes, collection of gas and the pressure it can apply on these parts of the intestine can easily result in pain.
But in my opinion, a more fruitful discussion would be to discuss which part could be affected and how to find this out. A
colonoscopy would be most informative in a situation similar to yours, to find what the abnormality is and which part is affected. Once this is established we can worry about what the function of that part is and how exactly we can treat the abnormality, what to expect, and so on.
I hope you find my response helpful ma'am. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always available to help.
Best wishes.
