This is a procedure used to view large intestine (colon and rectum) using an instrument called colonoscope (a flexible tube with a small camera and lens attached). The procedure can detect inflamed tissue, ulcers, and abnormal growths. It is used to diagnose early signs of colorectal cancer, bowel disorders, abdominal pain, muscle spasms, inflamed tissue, ulcers, anal bleeding, and non-dietary weight loss. It is also used to collect tissue samples (biopsy).<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon examination is recommended when symptoms like blood in stools, unexplained abdominal pain and change in bowel habits are seen. This procedure can be used to detect bowel diseases like Crohn\u2019s Disease or Ulcerative colitis. It is a procedure performed by a gastroenterologist, a well-trained subspecialist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In London, at Kensington International Clinic,

During this examination, the doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube, about the size of a finger, into your rectum. This tube, called a \u2018colonoscope\u2019, ends in a tiny camera. This camera allows you to see the inside of the large intestine and transmit the images to a screen.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the inside of the bowel is easier to see when it is swollen, the doctor will use a device to push air into it. This swelling may be uncomfortable or painful. For this reason, the doctor may offer you a medicine (painkiller) to reduce the discomfort or pain. The doctor may also give you a relaxing medication (sedative) to help you relax during the examination.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to examining the inside of the large intestine, the doctor may also sometimes perform other procedures during the examination:<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remove polyps.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Taking a biopsy.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Removal of polyps<\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Colonoscopy can sometimes show that there are polyps in the bowel. Polyps are small wart-like masses of flesh that grow on the inner walls of the large intestine. As some polyps can develop into colorectal cancer, doctors usually prefer to remove them as a preventive measure.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Biopsy<\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If deemed necessary, the doctor may also decide to perform a biopsy. A biopsy is the removal of a piece of tissue from the walls of the large intestine.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polyp removal and biopsy are painless procedures. The polyps or tissue collected is then analysed in a laboratory to see if it is cancerous or if there is another disease. The results of the analysis will be sent to your doctor, who will follow up with you as appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"3\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 sur 4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c68aa8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2c68aa8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42a9cb1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"42a9cb1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dda8db elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2dda8db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3 - POST-OPERATIVE CARE\n\n\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fff1db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fff1db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the examination, it takes about an hour to start recovering from the sedative.
