💛 Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week: Dec 1–7 💛
💡 When digestive symptoms keep coming back, it can be difficult to know the exact cause without proper medical testing. The right investigations help identify inflammation early, rule out other conditions, and ensure you get the treatment you truly need.
Throughout this week, we continue sharing important insights into symptoms, causes, warning signs, prevention, management, and diagnostic pathways for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Day 6 Highlight — “Tests That Help Detect Digestive Diseases Early”
Early testing provides clarity and helps your doctor make accurate decisions about your care. Here’s what is commonly done:
🧪 Tests Available at GP Clinics
1️⃣Stool test — checks for infection, inflammation, or hidden blood
2️⃣Blood test — screens for anemia, inflammation levels, and general health markers (GP-level tests only)
🏥 Hospital-Based Diagnostic Procedures (Through Referral)
3️⃣Colonoscopy — examines the colon for bleeding, ulcers, and inflammation
4️⃣CT scan / MRI — provides detailed imaging for deeper or widespread inflammation
5️⃣Gastroenterology specialist consultation — advanced assessment for chronic symptoms
6️⃣Full clinical evaluation — combines your medical history, symptoms, and results for a precise diagnosis
⚠️ Don’t wait for symptoms to escalate — early testing can prevent complications.
