3 -- The patient who has a sigmoidoscopy must report potential complications. Complications can manifest as abdominal pain, fever, or chills. Flatus after the procedure is anticipated, and does not warrant contacting the physician. Heavy lifting is to be avoided for only one week. High-fiber foods are to be avoided for 1-2 days.
