Colonoscopy is an inspection of the colon by means of a colonoscope (with light and camera). On a monitor, the camera\u2019s images are reproduced. With this method, the interior of the colon can be inspected in detail. This results in a clear picture of your colon health.<\/p>\n

Should e.g. polyps be found during this inspection, they may be removed. Removal of tissue for further analysis is possible, too.<\/p>\n

To prepare for the planned colonoscopy, a laxative shall be taken the evening before and on the day of inspection. The test may be facilitated by a tranquilizer or short sedation.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Questions and answers on Colonoscopy<\/h3>
When is a colonoscopy done?<\/div>

Which preparations are necessary?<\/div>

To enable a clear inspection, the colon shall be as clean as possible. Therefore, to prepare the colonoscopy, a fluid osmotic laxative is taken the evening before and on the day of the test.
