Overview of Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum). It involves the use of a flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) that allows doctors to detect abnormalities such as polyps, ulcers, tumors, inflammation, or bleeding within the colon.

A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the colon and rectum. It is done to detect polyps, ulcers, inflammation, bleeding, tumors, and to screen for colorectal cancer.
No, most patients do not feel pain during the procedure as it is usually performed under sedation or anesthesia, ensuring comfort and safety.
Preparation involves following a special diet, bowel-cleansing medications, and fasting before the procedure. This helps ensure the colon is clean for accurate results.
A colonoscopy typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, though patients may need some extra time for sedation and recovery.
Colonoscopy helps in the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, allows for the removal of polyps, and provides accurate diagnosis for gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or bowel changes.
