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.
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
