About Colonoscopy Test

A colonoscopy is a vital diagnostic and therapeutic procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to examine the inner lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Using a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope, which has a light and a tiny camera, the doctor can view the entire colon on a monitor. This procedure is the gold standard for detecting abnormalities like polyps, inflammation, ulcers, and early signs of colorectal cancer. It also allows for the removal of precancerous polyps during the same exam, making it a powerful tool for both screening and prevention. Performed under sedation for patient comfort, a colonoscopy is a cornerstone of gastrointestinal health.

Key Highlights

Gold standard for detecting colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps.Allows for both diagnosis and immediate treatment (e.g., polyp removal).Performed under sedation for a pain-free experience.Highly effective as a preventive screening tool for individuals over 45 or with risk factors.Provides a direct, real-time visual assessment of the entire colon's health.

Who is this surgery for?

Screening for colorectal cancer in individuals aged 45 and older, or earlier based on family history.
Investigation of symptoms like persistent rectal bleeding, unexplained abdominal pain, or chronic diarrhea/constipation.
Evaluation of abnormal findings from other tests, such as a positive stool test (FIT) or CT scan.
Monitoring and management of inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis).
Follow-up after previous polyp or cancer removal.
Assessment of unexplained iron-deficiency anemia.

How to prepare

Follow a clear liquid diet (broth, clear juices, gelatin) for 1-3 days before the procedure.
Take a prescribed bowel preparation (laxative solution) to completely empty the colon. This is crucial for clear visibility.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as sedation effects will linger.
Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners (like aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be temporarily adjusted.
Fast (no solid food) for at least 6-12 hours before the appointment, as instructed.

Risks & possible complications

Reaction to the sedative medication, such as breathing difficulties or low blood pressure.
Minor bleeding, especially if a polyp is removed or a biopsy is taken.
Perforation (a small tear) in the colon wall, which is rare but serious and may require surgery.
Post-polypectomy syndrome, causing temporary abdominal pain and fever.
Infection, though very uncommon.
Incomplete procedure due to poor bowel preparation or anatomical issues.

Recovery & hospital stay

You will be monitored in a recovery area until the sedation wears off (usually 30-60 minutes).
You may experience mild bloating or cramping due to air introduced during the procedure; this passes quickly.
Resume normal diet once fully alert, unless otherwise instructed.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for the rest of the day due to sedation.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, fever, chills, or persistent rectal bleeding.
Your gastroenterologist will discuss preliminary findings before you leave, with a full biopsy report following in a few days.

Typical hospital stay: Same day (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
