General Surgeon,  's  Response
The further course of action should be as follows::
Colonoscopy to find out and to take biopsy from the recto-sigmoid narrowing area to see whether this is due to Cancer or Tuberculosis.
Once the report is available the treatment will be according to it.
If this is tuberculosis and there are so symptoms and signs of obstruction you can go for anti-tubercular treatment for 6 to 9 months according to the Doctor's advise.
If this is a Cancer you have to go for surgery as the results will be fine as the detection is early and you have not mentioned any nodes in the Ultrasonography and CT can .
