What is Colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of your colon (large intestine) using a flexible tube with a camera on the end, called a colonoscope. It allows your doctor to detect inflammation, ulcers, polyps, or signs of bowel cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions.

This procedure is highly effective in diagnosing issues such as:

  • Chronic abdominal pain
  • Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
  • Unexplained changes in bowel movements
  • Family history of bowel cancer or polyps

Common Reasons for a Colonoscopy

Many people worry about having a colonoscopy — but it’s a vital tool for catching issues early and ensuring long-term digestive health. You might be recommended a colonoscopy for:
Colonoscopy for abdominal pain
Colonoscopy for rectal bleeding
Long-term diarrhoea or constipation
Monitoring of previous colon conditions
Preventive screening for bowel cancer (especially if you're over 50 or have a family history)
Don’t ignore symptoms — a timely colonoscopy can prevent more serious complications down the road.
