Colonoscopy in Singapore is a common and important procedure for screening and diagnosing conditions of the colon and rectum. Most guidelines suggest screening from age 50, but those with risk factors may need it sooner.

During the test, a specialist uses a scope to view the inside of your bowel and take pictures or samples if needed. Patients are sedated to minimise discomfort, and most recover quickly website with minimal side effects.

Proper preparation is important for accurate results and may involve dietary changes and laxatives prior to your appointment.

You can book a colonoscopy at public hospitals, private hospitals, or through specialist gastroenterologist clinics across Singapore. Prices vary widely, but Medisave and insurance can often be used to cover part or all of the bill.

If you have concerns about colon health or risk factors for colorectal cancer, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor about when to schedule this crucial screening.
