When you are worried about your digestive health, it can feel unsettling. Persistent symptoms, like changes in your bowel habit or unexplained bleeding, are concerning. It is important to quickly find out what is happening. We understand the need for timely, expert and compassionate care. Dr Arif Hussenbux offers private colonoscopy services in Buckinghamshire focused on giving you peace of mind and accurate diagnosis.
What is a colonoscopy and why might you need one?
A colonoscopy is a very common procedure whichs provides a clear, close-up look at the inside of your large bowel or colon. It is carried out by your specialist gastroenterologist using a flexible tube with a tiny camera and light which allows them to see the lining of your bowel on a monitor.
It may sound daunting, but the procedure is invaluable for both understanding symptoms and preventing future problems:
- Understanding your symptoms: If you have been experiencing ongoing problems such as unexplained rectal bleeding, a change in how often you go to the toilet (like persistent diarrhoea or constipation), lasting abdominal discomfort or unexplained weight loss, a colonoscopy helps the doctor find the precise cause.
- Bowel cancer prevention: A colonoscopy is the most effective way to screen for bowel cancer. The specialist can identify and safely remove small growths, called polyps, which could potentially turn cancerous over many years. The simple step of removing the polyp during the procedure itself is an effective way to prevent the disease before it even starts.
