How is a Colonoscopy Performed?

At Kaizen Care, we follow a standardized process to ensure patient safety and comfort:  

1. Preparation:
   Patients are given specific dietary instructions and a bowel-cleansing regimen to ensure a clear view of the colon.
   Sedation or anesthesia may be provided for relaxation and comfort.
2. Procedure:
   The colonoscope is gently inserted through the rectum and guided through the colon.
   The camera transmits detailed images, allowing for a thorough examination.
   Biopsies can be taken, and polyps or other abnormalities removed during the procedure.
3. Recovery:
   Patients are observed for a short period post-procedure to ensure there are no complications.
   Normal activities can usually resume the following day.
