Colonoscopy in India

Colonoscopy is a diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic procedure that allows doctors to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum) using a flexible tube with a camera. It helps in detecting polyps, tumors, inflammation, and other bowel conditions.

India offers advanced gastroenterology services, experienced endoscopists, and comprehensive pre- and post-procedure care.

Indications for Colonoscopy

  • Screening for colorectal cancer in high-risk or symptomatic patients

  • Evaluation of chronic diarrhea, constipation, or unexplained abdominal pain

  • Detection of polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or bleeding

  • Removal of colon polyps or early tumors during the procedure

  • Follow-up for patients with previous polyps or colorectal cancer
