Booking a colonoscopy in Singapore is a common and important procedure for screening and diagnosing conditions of the colon and rectum. If you have symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, blood in stool, or unexplained weight loss, your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy regardless of age.
A colonoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) through the rectum to examine the lining of the colon. Patients are sedated to minimise discomfort, and most recover quickly with minimal side effects.
You’ll need to follow instructions to empty your bowels before the test—usually with a special drink and avoiding solid food for a period.
You can book a colonoscopy at public hospitals, private here hospitals, or through specialist gastroenterologist clinics across Singapore. Check with your clinic for details on Medisave claims or insurance coverage, as these can help offset out-of-pocket costs.
If you have concerns about colon health or risk factors for colorectal cancer, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor about when to schedule this crucial screening.
