Colonoscopy
About the procedure
Colonoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows gastroenterologists to examine the entire colon and rectum for abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, bleeding, and cancer. It is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening and is recommended for adults starting at age 45-50, or earlier for those with increased risk factors. During the procedure, the physician can also remove precancerous polyps, significantly reducing the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
