Lower GI Health & Screening

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for examining the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is a vital tool for detecting abnormalities and preventing colorectal cancer through early intervention.

Indications for Colonoscopy:

• Screening for colorectal cancer (recommended over age 45-50)
• Investigating chronic diarrhea or constipation
• Evaluating rectal bleeding or blood in stool
• Diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis)
• Follow-up for previous polyps

Polyp Detection & Removal
During the procedure, if we find polyps (small growths that can become cancerous), we can remove them immediately (Polypectomy). This effectively prevents colon cancer before it starts.
