For anyone concerned about digestive health, 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. It is usually done under mild sedation for comfort, and you can go home the same day.

Preparation includes fasting and drinking a prescribed bowel-cleansing solution the day before to ensure a clear view during the exam.

Colonoscopy is available at most major hospitals and specialist clinics in Singapore such as website SGH, NUH, Mount Elizabeth, Parkway East, Raffles Hospital, and private gastroenterology centres. Prices vary widely, but Medisave and insurance can often be used to cover part or all of the bill.

For anyone experiencing bowel symptoms or seeking peace of mind, a colonoscopy is a reliable way to protect your health—early detection saves lives.
