Curious about what to expect during a colonoscopy? A colonoscopy is an essential procedure that allows doctors to examine the inner lining of your large intestine. Preparation is key, often involving dietary adjustments and a thorough cleansing regimen. On the day of the procedure, sedation ensures your comfort as the doctor carefully navigates the colon with a flexible camera. It’s a quick and effective way to detect anomalies, from polyps to early signs of cancer. Understanding the procedure can help alleviate anxiety.

For personalized care and expert guidance, consult with your healthcare provider.
