Colonoscopy

Examines the whole large bowel to screen for colorectal cancer and investigate bleeding or a change in bowel habit. Polyps found during the test can usually be removed in the same session.

Overview

Choose a clinic day and session online in under a minute, or reach the clinic directly.

What to expect

Calm and clear, step by step.

  1. 1

    Before

    Bring previous reports and a list of your medicines — especially blood thinners and diabetes medication. If a procedure is planned you will receive written preparation and fasting instructions.

  2. 2

    During

    The doctor explains what will happen and answers your questions. Endoscopic procedures are usually done under light sedation, so they are not painful.

  3. 3

    After

    You rest briefly while the sedation wears off; a companion should take you home. Mild bloating passes quickly.

  4. 4

    Results & plan

    You leave with a written report, a clear treatment plan and, when samples are taken, a date to review the results.

Questions

What patients often ask.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online from the booking page by choosing the clinic, day and session; you will receive a booking reference. You can also contact the clinic by phone or WhatsApp.

Do I need to fast before an upper endoscopy?

Yes. Usually no food for 6–8 hours before the procedure and clear fluids only until 2 hours before, following the clinic's instructions about your regular medicines.

How do I prepare for a colonoscopy?

A clean bowel is essential: a low-fibre diet for one to two days before, then the bowel-preparation laxative exactly as described in the written instructions from the clinic.

Is endoscopy painful?

Endoscopy is usually done under light sedation, so it is not painful; mild bloating afterwards passes quickly. You will need a companion to take you home after sedation.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring previous reports, lab tests and imaging, plus a list of your current medicines — especially blood thinners and diabetes medication — and any earlier endoscopy reports.
