Frequently Asked Questions
Why Should I Be Screened?
Colonoscopy is a screening test that can help prevent colon cancer or catch it early when it’s easiest to treat. The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk start screening at age 45. Colonoscopy can find and remove polyps – small growths that could turn into cancer over time. Regular screening has been shown to lower the risk of dying from colon cancer.
Why Do I Have To Take The Prep The Day Before?
The prep cleans out your colon so the doctor can clearly see the lining of your bowel. A clean colon helps detect polyps, cancer, or other issues more accurately. If the prep is not done properly, the exam may need to be rescheduled or repeated.
What Is a Colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows a specialty-trained doctor to look inside your colon (large intestine) using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It helps check for problems like polyps, inflammation, or signs of colon cancer.
What Is Upper Endoscopy?
An upper endoscopy is a procedure that allows a specialty-trained doctor to examine your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of your small intestine using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It helps diagnose many issues, including heartburn, ulcers, or trouble swallowing.
