Colonoscopy

What is a Colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy is a test that looks at the inner lining of your large intestine using a long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera inside it.

What Are the Reasons Your Doctor Might Order a Colonoscopy?

  • Blood in your bowel movements
  • Change in your bowel habits.
  • Long-term belly or rectal pain that you cannot explain.
  • Abnormal results from a different type of colon test
  • A history of colon cancer or polyps in your colon
To look for signs of bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease, diverticular disease, Ulcerative colitis, Bowel cancer

How to Prepare for a Colonoscopy?

You will be provided with instructions from your doctor about what to do before a colonoscopy. This will include what foods you can and cannot eat when to stop eating if you need to eliminate certain medications, and instructions on taking a special drink (laxatives) that cleans your colon before the procedure. This drink causes watery diarrhea. It is necessary to complete all of the glasses as instructed for your doctor to get a more detailed look at the inside lining of your bowel.
Discuss with your doctor if you’re having difficulties preparing for your colonoscopy.

What Happens During a Colonoscopy?

To make your procedure more comfortable, you will receive painkillers and medications to help you relax.
A thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera inside enters your bottom. Air is pumped in to open up your bowels. The tube goes through all of your large bowels. Any growths in your bowels will be removed, or a sample of cells will be taken.
This procedure takes 30 to 45 minutes.

What Happens After a Colonoscopy?

You will be provided with instructions from your doctor about what to do after a colonoscopy. It is recommended that you do not drive or go to work for the rest of the day. Your doctor will tell you when to start taking any medicines you had to stop before the test.
You might experience bloating or stomach cramps up to 3 hours after a colonoscopy.
