For anyone concerned about digestive health, colonoscopy in Singapore is widely recommended for early detection of colorectal cancer and other bowel issues. Doctors typically advise people over 50—or earlier for those with family history or symptoms—to undergo regular colonoscopies.
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.
Preparation includes fasting and drinking a prescribed bowel-cleansing solution the day before to ensure a clear view during the exam.
You can book a check here colonoscopy at public hospitals, private hospitals, or through specialist gastroenterologist clinics across Singapore. 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.
