  • Common indications for a colonoscopy include altering bowel habits, rectal bleeding, or family history of colorectal cancer.
  • This procedure is usually preceded by bowel preparation to clear the intestines for optimal visualization.
  • During a colonoscopy, polyps can be removed or biopsied if suspicious lesions are detected.
  • Treatment plans are tailored based on results and may involve lifestyle changes or further monitoring if polyps are found.
  • Patients generally experience mild sedation and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.

A colonoscopy is an invaluable tool for maintaining gastrointestinal health and preventing severe diseases through early intervention.

ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY (EGD)

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, commonly referred to as EGD, is a procedure used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal tract. This diagnostic tool is essential for identifying various conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
