Experience
What is Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is an advanced diagnostic procedure used to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum. A thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) is gently inserted through the rectum, allowing the doctor to view the inner lining of the colon in detail.
It is one of the most accurate tests for detecting polyps, inflammation, bleeding, infections, and early-stage colon cancer.
Gastroscopy (also known as Upper GI Endoscopy) is a safe and advanced diagnostic procedure used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). A thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera at the end is gently passed through the mouth, allowing the doctor to view the digestive tract in real time.
