Who Should Schedule a Colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy may be recommended for routine colorectal cancer screening or to evaluate ongoing digestive symptoms. Adults age 45 and older should discuss screening, while those with a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, previous colon polyps, rectal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain, chronic constipation or diarrhea, unexplained iron-deficiency anemia, unexplained weight loss, or an abnormal stool-based screening test may need earlier evaluation. Dr. Saranya Addepally will recommend the most appropriate screening or follow-up schedule based on your individual risk factors and medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

At what age should I start colonoscopy screening?

For adults at average risk, screening should begin at age 45. If you have a family history of colon cancer or polyps, you may need to start earlier, often at 40 or 10 years before your youngest affected relative was diagnosed.

Is a colonoscopy painful?

No. You will be sedated during the procedure, so the vast majority of patients feel nothing and do not remember the exam. Most people are surprised by how easy it was.

How long does a colonoscopy take?

The exam itself usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. With check-in, preparation, and recovery from sedation, plan to be at the facility for roughly two to three hours.

What is the colonoscopy prep like?

The day before, you follow a clear-liquid diet and take a bowel-prep solution that empties the colon. The prep is the part most people notice most, but it is temporary, and a clean colon is what makes the exam accurate.

How often do I need a colonoscopy?

If your colonoscopy is normal and you are at average risk, you typically will not need another for 10 years. If polyps are found, your doctor may recommend a shorter interval.
