Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is the effective method, allowing obtaining the comprehensive information on the condition of the large intestine very fast. The use of colonoscope (flexible guided probe with camera) allows determining the intestinal diseases effectively and reliably at the earliest stages of development, when they do not still manifest themselves through clear symptoms.

WHY IS COLONOSCOPY NEEDED?

The colonoscopy is required in case of:

• lengthy constipations;
• intestinal obstruction;
• intestinal bleeding;
• suspicion of nonspecific ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or tumor.

On the whole, the doctors recommend undergoing the colonoscopy for each patient with intestinal problems. After 40, due to the higher risk of appearance of colorectal cancer, the colonoscopy is recommended as the annual preventive examination; fortunately, the cost of procedure makes it affordable for most patients.

Judge for yourself: 20 minutes of the examination replaces multiple tests and analyses, giving much more precise results!
