Understanding Endoscopy & Colonoscopy:

• Endoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera (endoscope) to examine the internal lining of your digestive tract. Depending on the area being examined, there are different types of endoscopy, including:
• Upper endoscopy (gastroscopy): Examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine) for ulcers, inflammation, or abnormal growths.
• Colonoscopy: Focuses on the inner lining of the colon (large intestine) and rectum to detect polyps, precancerous lesions, or colorectal cancer.

Why Choose Endoscopy or Colonoscopy?

• Diagnosis: Endoscopy and colonoscopy can be used to diagnose a variety of digestive conditions, such as:
• Acid reflux disease (GERD)
• Peptic ulcers
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Celiac disease
• Colorectal cancer (for colonoscopy)
• Other digestive disorders
• Treatment: During an endoscopy, certain procedures can be performed through the endoscope for treatment purposes, such as:
• Removing polyps
• Stopping bleeding
• Opening narrowed passages

Colonoscopy - Early Detection Saves Lives:

• Colonoscopy is particularly important for early detection of colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths. The removal of polyps during a colonoscopy can prevent cancer development.
• We recommend regular colonoscopies starting at age 45 (or earlier if you have a family history of colorectal cancer) as a preventive measure.
