Colonoscopy · Myra City Hospital, Lucknow

Is colonoscopy painful?

Colonoscopy is usually well tolerated, and many patients receive sedation to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Some people may feel temporary pressure, cramping, or bloating as the scope moves through the colon. Significant pain is uncommon and should be reported immediately if it occurs after the procedure.
