Colonoscopy is the most accurate test for colorectal cancers, proven to detect the disease early and save lives.

Colonoscopy Preparation
Before you undergo a colonoscopy, you are required to cleanse your bowels. The bowel preparation method varies from person to person and hospital to hospital, so be sure to ask if there is any specific guidance for you. It’s important that you follow the directions given by your doctor, so that you don’t have to repeat the test.
Colonoscopy Procedure
The colonoscope has a small camera on its end and is connected to a monitor. This allows the gastroenterologist to see the colon through the instrument’s tip even when it is far inside the body.
It is completely normal for fluid and gas to escape through the rectum and anus during the procedure. The complete procedure can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour. In addition to simply viewing the insides of colon, the colonoscope is equipped with special attachments that allow the doctor to collect tissue samples or biopsies, remove small growths, and stop bleeding with laser, heat, or medication
