Colonoscopy: Advanced Screening & Diagnostic Care
A colonoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the interior of the colon and rectum. It involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the rectum to detect abnormalities like polyps, tumors, or inflammation. This procedure aids in diagnosing digestive issues and screening for colorectal cancer.
What is a Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) to examine the entire colon (large intestine) and rectum. It is the gold standard for detecting colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), polyps, ulcers, and other bowel disorders.
Who Should Get a Colonoscopy?
Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy if you have:
✅ Persistent abdominal pain or bloating
✅ Chronic diarrhea or constipation
✅ Blood in stool (rectal bleeding)
✅ Unexplained weight loss
✅ Family history of colon cancer or polyps
✅ Screening for colorectal cancer (recommended at age 45 or earlier if at risk)
Benefits of Colonoscopy
✅ Early Detection of Colon Cancer – Increases survival rates with timely intervention
✅ Removal of Polyps During the Procedure – Prevents cancer before it starts
✅ Accurate & Detailed Examination – High-definition imaging ensures precise diagnosis
✅ Minimally Invasive & Painless – Quick recovery with sedation for comfort
✅ Helps Diagnose Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) – Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and more
How is a Colonoscopy Performed?
✅ Preparation (Bowel Cleansing) – The colon must be completely clean for a clear view. Your doctor will prescribe a special bowel prep solution to drink before the procedure.
✅ Sedation for Comfort – A mild sedative is administered to ensure a painless experience.
✅ Insertion of Colonoscope – A thin, flexible tube with a camera is gently inserted into the rectum to examine the colon lining.
✅ Biopsy & Polyp Removal (If Needed) – Small tissue samples (biopsy) may be taken, and polyps (abnormal growths) can be removed during the procedure.
✅ Completion & Recovery – The procedure takes 20-45 minutes, and the patient rests for a short time before going home.
What to Expect Before & After a Colonoscopy?
Before:
✅ Follow dietary restrictions (clear liquids 24 hours before)
✅ Take bowel prep medication as instructed
✅ Avoid certain medications (as advised by your doctor)
After:
✅ You may feel mild bloating or gas, which subsides quickly
✅ Results will be discussed with you after the procedure
✅ Avoid driving or heavy activities for 24 hours if sedated
