What is a Colonoscopy, and Why Do You Need One?

A colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon). It is performed using a thin, flexible tube known as a colonoscope, which is equipped with a small camera. This procedure plays a crucial role in diagnosing various conditions, including colorectal cancer, polyps, inflammation, and other abnormalities in your colon and rectum. 

You May Need a Colonoscopy For:

  • Cancer Screening: Routine procedure for those over a certain age or with a family history of colorectal cancer.
  • Symptom Diagnosis: Useful for identifying the cause of unexplained abdominal discomfort, bowel changes, rectal bleeding, or anemia.
  • Polyp Detection: Helps in finding and removing precancerous polyps to prevent colorectal cancer.
  • IBD Management: Assesses and monitors conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
  • Bleeding Evaluation: Recommended when there's possible bleeding in the colon or rectum.
  • Follow-up Investigation: Useful for further examination of abnormalities found in other imaging tests.
