Colonoscopy
Treatments
We perform colonoscopies using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. The procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera through the rectum into the colon to visualize the colon's lining and detect any abnormalities.
FAQ
Is a colonoscopy painful?
Most patients undergo sedation during a colonoscopy, which minimizes discomfort or pain. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort or cramping during the procedure.
How often should I have a colonoscopy?
The frequency of colonoscopies depends on your age, family history, and risk factors for colorectal cancer. Your healthcare provider can recommend the appropriate screening schedule.
