Colonoscopy & Endoscopy for Digestive Health

Colonoscopy and Endoscopy: Essential Tests for Digestive Health

Keeping your digestive system healthy is vital for overall well-being. Regular checkups, including colonoscopy and endoscopy, play a key role in detecting digestive problems early. These procedures help doctors examine the colon, stomach, and other internal organs.

What is Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is performed using a flexible tube with a camera at the tip. The tube is inserted through the rectum to examine the inside of the colon. It provides detailed images that help doctors detect colon cancer, polyps, and other intestinal conditions at an early stage.

What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a similar procedure, but the flexible tube is inserted through the mouth to examine the stomach and upper digestive tract. It is particularly useful in diagnosing ulcers, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), and other stomach-related conditions.

How to Prepare for These Tests

• Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

• You may need to take special preparations to clean your intestines.

• Do not eat or drink on the morning of the procedure.

• Arrive at the hospital on time for your scheduled test.

After the Procedure

• Follow your doctor’s post-test instructions.

• Mild pain or discomfort may occur, which can be managed with prescribed medicines.

• Slight bleeding from the rectum is possible after colonoscopy. If it lasts more than 24 hours, contact your doctor immediately.
