Colonoscopy – A thin flexible tube is inserted through the rectum and travels to the other end of the large intestine.

You are advised to go for gastroscopy & colonoscopy if you have any digestive signs or symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, heartburn abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea and to screen for colon cancer.

Fasting for at least 6 hours prior to the procedure is required. You are required to take a laxative.

• Prior to a colonoscopy, it is important to properly prepare by emptying your colon. Any remaining residue in the colon can hinder a clear view of the colon and rectum during the examination. To ensure effective preparation, your doctor may instruct you to:
  • Fast minimum 6 hours prior to the procedure.
  • Follow a special diet on the day before the exam.
  • Take a laxative to facilitate bowel movements and empty the colon.
• Colonoscopy is typically a day-care procedure, meaning you will not need to be admitted overnight.
• After the procedure, it is important to have someone available to drive you home as driving under the influence of sedation is not recommended.
• You will receive a comprehensive report of the colonoscopy, along with a video (CD) of the procedure.
