Common Gastroenterology Questions
What is a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your colon using a flexible, lighted scope. It is a common and effective way to screen for colorectal cancer and other digestive problems.
How often should I get a colonoscopy?
The frequency of colonoscopies depends on your age, family history, and other risk factors. Your doctor can recommend the best screening schedule for you.
What can I expect during a colonoscopy?
During a colonoscopy, you will be sedated and comfortable. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes.
What are the benefits of a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy can detect pre-cancerous polyps and remove them, reducing your risk of colorectal cancer. It can also diagnose other digestive problems early, when they are easier to treat.
What are the risks of a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a safe procedure, but as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks, such as bleeding or infection. Your doctor will discuss these risks with you in detail.
