Colonoscopy · Myra City Hospital, Lucknow
When should I get a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy may be recommended for symptoms such as rectal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, unexplained anemia, or changes in bowel habits. It is also used for colorectal cancer screening, especially in adults over 45 years or those with a family history of colon cancer or polyps. Your doctor decides the timing based on symptoms and risk factors.
