Colonoscopy – Colon Cancer Screening & GI Diagnosis

What is Colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the entire colon (large intestine) using a long, flexible tube with a camera called a colonoscope. It helps detect problems like polyps, bleeding, inflammation, or early signs of colon cancer.

It is the most effective test for evaluating lower gastrointestinal symptoms and for colon cancer screening.

When is it Recommended?

Dr. Prashant Verma may advise a colonoscopy for:
Colonoscopy
  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • Rectal bleeding or blood in stools
  • Unexplained abdominal pain or bloating
  • Iron deficiency anemia
  • Screening for colorectal cancer (especially after age 45)
  • Family history of colon polyps or cancer
  • Surveillance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

What Can Be Done During the Procedure?

  • Biopsy – For any suspicious tissue
  • Polyp Removal – To prevent them from turning cancerous
  • Control of bleeding – From ulcers or vessels
  • Dilation – Of strictures (narrowed areas in the colon)

Is It Painful?

Colonoscopy is generally performed under sedation, ensuring comfort throughout. The entire procedure takes about 20–30 minutes, and most patients go home the same day.
