Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a critical screening that can help detect colon cancer, rectal cancer, or other colorectal diseases. If you have a family history of colon cancer or if you’re over the age of 50, you should be screened regularly.

The expert surgeons at Carolinas Center for Surgery can assist you with this procedure.

Why Get a Colonoscopy?

Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, primarily because people often avoid or neglect to schedule a colonoscopy in time. This disease is preventable and treatable when caught early. Don’t put yourself at greater risk.

During a colonoscopy, your doctor uses a camera to view the inside of your large intestine. This enables the discovery of polyps, or adenomas, which can be precancerous. Polyps can then be removed in a followup procedure. A colonoscopy can also detect other abnormalities in the bowels as well as examine inflammation, ulcers, or internal bleeding.
