Colonoscopy in Singapore is a common and important procedure for screening and diagnosing conditions of the colon and rectum. Most guidelines suggest screening from age 50, but those with risk factors may need it sooner.
During the test, a specialist uses a scope to view the inside of your bowel and take pictures or samples if needed. Patients are sedated to minimise discomfort, and most recover quickly with minimal side effects.
Preparation includes fasting and drinking a prescribed bowel-cleansing solution the day before to ensure a clear view during the colonoscopy 6.6 35 exam.
Both public and private healthcare providers offer this service, with varying waiting times and costs depending on your choice. Check with your clinic for details on Medisave claims or insurance coverage, as these can help offset out-of-pocket costs.
All in all, colonoscopy remains one of the best tools for keeping your digestive system healthy and catching issues early in Singapore.
