While it’s not often that people wonder, ‘where can I get a colonoscopy near me?’, it’s something that’s important for a multitude of reasons.
A colon screening test may allow gastrointestinal specialists to identify various gastroenterological conditions and treat them.
Based on your specialist’s recommendations, you may require a colon screening test if you are experiencing the following symptoms:
- Blood in stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Diarrhoea that lasts more than a few days
- Narrow and thin stools
- Chronic fatigue
- Abdominal discomfort
- A change in bowel habits
You may also need a colon screening test if you’re older than 50 years of age and have a family history of colorectal cancer.
In this procedure, a colonoscope, which is a long, flexible tube with a camera attached to one end, is inserted into the rectum and passed through to the large intestine. During this process, it’s common for doctors to extract biopsies (small samples of tissue) and undertake polyp removal.
At Sydney Gut Clinic, we specialise in colonoscopies and the investigation and treatment of a range of gastrointestinal conditions. Our team is trained to perform surveillance colonoscopies and interventional colonoscopies.
