At Hospital Brisas, we offer colonoscopy services, a fundamental procedure for your health care and colorectal cancer prevention. Performed by specialist physicians, this study allows for a highly detailed visualization of the inside of your large intestine (colon) and rectum, being the most effective method for an accurate diagnosis and early detection.
Why is it Important to Have a Colonoscopy?
Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy to:
Prevention and Early Detection: It is the gold standard for detecting and removing polyps (small growths) before they can turn into cancer. It is routinely recommended starting at age 45.
Diagnose the Cause of Symptoms: Such as changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, chronic abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss.
Monitoring Existing Conditions: For patients with a personal or family history of polyps, colon cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease.
