Colonoscopy: Colon Cancer Screening and Bleeding Foci Control
Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure used to examine the colon and rectum in detail. This procedure is critical for diagnosing various digestive diseases, especially colorectal cancer screening and determining the source of intestinal bleeding.
What is a Colonoscopy and How is it Performed?
Colonoscopy is performed using a colonoscope, a thin, flexible tube. This tube has a small camera on its end, which allows the inside of the intestine to be viewed. During the procedure, the patient is usually given light sedation so that the patient can undergo the procedure comfortably. The colonoscope is inserted through the anus and advanced through the rectum and large intestine. This allows direct observation of abnormal structures such as polyps, tumors, inflammation, and ulcers.
In Which Situations Is Colonoscopy Performed?
A colonoscopy is recommended in many different situations, including:
Colon Cancer Screening: Regular colonoscopy screening is recommended for individuals aged 50 and over, especially those with a family history of colon cancer. Colon cancer detected at an early stage is a treatable disease.
Intestinal Bleeding: In cases of blood in the stool, signs of anemia, or rectal bleeding, a colonoscopy is performed to determine the source of the bleeding. This bleeding can be caused by many different reasons, such as hemorrhoids, polyps, diverticulitis, or tumors.
Detection and Removal of Colon Polyps: Polyps are small, usually benign growths that can develop in the colon and carry the risk of turning into cancer over time. These polyps can be detected and removed during a colonoscopy.
Monitoring of Chronic Bowel Diseases: Colonoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Pre-Colonoscopy Preparation Process
Before a colonoscopy, the intestines must be completely clean. This cleansing is achieved with a special diet and colon cleansing medications. Usually, one day before the procedure, solid foods are stopped and only clear liquids are consumed. The use of cleansing medications allows the intestines to be completely emptied, which allows the doctor to see the inside of the intestines clearly.
What to Expect During a Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a procedure that usually takes between 30-60 minutes. Since the patient is given a light sedation during the procedure, pain or discomfort is minimal. During the procedure, the doctor examines the intestinal walls in detail and may take a biopsy or remove polyps if necessary.
After Colonoscopy
After a colonoscopy, patients usually rest for a short time and then can go home. It is normal to have mild abdominal pain or bloating after the procedure. However, if symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, fever, or heavy rectal bleeding occur, you should see a doctor immediately.
