Hello,
I think you are describing esophagus. Food pipe swelling may be seen in Esophagitis, GERD, or Barrett’s esophagus etcetera and it not possible to touch esophagus.
If you are describing colonoscopy, then it may be possible polyps, proctitis, hemorrhoids or carcinoma of colon. Until not confirm by biopsy, it difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
