The March Colorectal Cancer Campaign.

When you hear the word colonoscopy, what comes to mind?

For many people, it’s fear, discomfort, or the worry that preparation will be difficult. These

reactions are completely understandable. Let's address each of these concerns.

Colonoscopy is a routine screening tool that helps doctors examine the large intestine and

detect early changes, including precancerous polyps that can be removed before they

develop into cancer. Most patients receive low to moderate sedation to stay comfortable

during the procedure, and the preparation is temporary and guided step by step.

Colorectal cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is

why screening is recommended from age 45, even for people without a family history.

Understanding the screening process can help ease anxiety and support informed decisions

about your health.
