Procedure
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy uses a flexible camera-equipped scope to examine the rectum and colon. It can help identify findings such as inflammation, ulcers or polyps and may be used to evaluate symptoms such as rectal bleeding, altered bowel movements or abdominal pain.
Colonoscopy / Ileocolonoscopy is available at Triveni as a gastroenterology procedure.
Why might a Colonoscopy be advised?
A doctor may recommend Colonoscopy when more direct evaluation of the large bowel is needed—for example, in selected cases involving bowel bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, abdominal symptoms, inflammatory bowel disease evaluation or other appropriate indications.
Preparing for Colonoscopy
A clear view of the colon requires bowel preparation. General preparation may involve dietary changes, clear liquids and prescribed bowel-cleansing instructions before the procedure. The exact regimen can vary, so follow the specific preparation provided for your procedure rather than using an unsupervised generic bowel-prep plan.
Patients should also disclose relevant illnesses and medicines before the procedure.

FAQ
Can I use any bowel-prep medicine before coming?
Do not use a generic bowel-preparation regimen on your own. Follow the preparation specifically provided for your procedure. Colonoscopy requires adequate bowel cleansing for proper visualization.
Does blood in stool automatically mean I need Colonoscopy?
No. Gastrointestinal bleeding has multiple potential causes and the appropriate investigation depends on clinical assessment.
