Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure. London Gastro Care is one of the best clinics in Hyderabad where you can get a colonoscopy. Dr. Chandra Puli is among the very best. He has performed many procedures in Hyderabad and London. A colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure that is done to examine the inside of the large intestine (colon and rectum). The examination uses an instrument called a colonoscope (sometimes called a scope).

This flexible instrument is very long and includes a camera and the ability to remove tissue (you do not feel tissue being removed). A colonoscopy is commonly used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bleeding, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits (how often you poop, how easily you poop, and the color and consistency of your poop).

When is colonoscopy used?

Colonoscopy is used to examine the large bowel for various GI symptoms, mainly diarrhoea, change in Bowel habits, blood in the stools, IBD, IBS, Bowel Cancer Treatment,  and Polyps removal. Dr Chandra Puli has performed more than few thousands of these procedures over 12 years of his experience in Gastroenterology safely and with greater success as assessed by JAG KPI’s. Dr Chandra Puli has a special interest and skills in removing large polyps which otherwise would require surgeries.

How to prepare for colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy results would be best if the colon is clean, so your doctor can give you the best results and also remove the polyps at the same time if your colon is clean.
