What to Expect During Your Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a key procedure that allows our physicians to examine the inner lining of your colon and rectum using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. This helps detect abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or ulcers that might indicate underlying conditions.
Before your appointment, you will receive clear instructions on how to prepare, including dietary restrictions and bowel cleansing. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and sedation is provided for your comfort.
After the colonoscopy, you may experience mild cramping or bloating, but most patients resume normal activities within a day. If any polyps or suspicious areas are found, samples may be taken for further testing.
Regular colonoscopies are vital, especially for adults over 50 or those with a family history of colon cancer. If you have any concerns about your digestive health, don’t hesitate to request an appointment with us.
