recommended as a preventive examination in those over 45 years of age but also in younger ages with a family history of colonic cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Colonoscopy is the most effective preventative test for early detection of polyps and colon cancer, which is the third most common cause of cancer death in the world for men and women, and can be completely cured if treated early. Through colonoscopy we can examine the large intestine and the final part of the small intestine (terminal ileum). In addition to cancer, other conditions diagnosed include inflammation of the bowel, diverticular disease, and causes of bleeding in the colon, while therapeutic interventions can be performed such as polypectomy, bleeding control by placing a clip or by APC (Argon Plasma), dilatation of strictures, stent placement, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the preventive nature of the test, colonoscopy is also used to investigate symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, flatulence, recent onset of constipation or diarrhea or alternating diarrhea and constipation, feeling of incomplete emptying, bleeding from the anus or other symptoms which may indicate colon disease.<\/p>\n<p>It is the safest and best method of examination for the above symptoms because an accurate diagnosis can be made and confirmed by taking biopsies where is indicated, while it also allows simultaneous therapeutic intervention. It is the best way to find the cause of bleeding from the lower digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>The latest technology Fujifilm Eluxeo 700 endoscopes with &#8220;CAD EYE&#8221; technology for detecting polyps that we use help a lot in detecting even very small lesions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-kfw1yfac-b6cf7ab5a300a68a1fd7aa520509abd1 av-minimal-toggle  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-v5q3f-f09b780d92d62cf07a9250f67dae13a4'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-1' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-1' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-1' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Before the examination\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Before the examination\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Before the examination\">Before the examination<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-1' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-1' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In order to be able to perform the examination, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the colon with a specific diet in the previous two days and laxatives the afternoon before the test.<\/p>\n<p>Proper preparation is very important because otherwise the test is not reliable and sometimes it can even be impossible.<\/p>\n<p>You can download or read our detailed preparation instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Most medications are continued normally until the night before the test.

Then you will wear a robe of the endoscopy unit. You will also need to remove artificial dentures as well as eyeglasses that will be kept safe by the unit&#8217;s staff until the end of the test.<\/p>\n<p>The examination is performed with the patient lying on the examination bed on the left hand side. A special sensor is placed on the patient&#8217;s finger to record pulses and oxygen saturation in the blood during the examination. A tube is placed in a vein in your arm (vein catheter) through which you will be given mild sedation which will relax you and the examination will be very well tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>The test is done through a flexible thin tube called a colonoscope that has less thickness than the index finger of your hand. Also, because the test is done with carbon dioxide and not air, the feeling of bloating is almost zero after the test. In this way colonoscopy does not hurt during or after the test.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor will pass a thin and extremely flexible endoscope (colonoscope) with a tiny camera in the anus and guide it through the rectum and the rest of the colon. The colonoscope inflates the bowel with carbon dioxide to give the doctor a better picture. This detailed image is transferred to a special high-definition screen, allowing the doctor to carefully examine the large intestine and, if appropriate, using suitable forceps passing through the colonoscope to take biopsies.<\/p>\n<p>After the examination, do not rush to get out of bed on your own, wait for the instructions the doctor or nursing staff.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-kqfaj-6bb4775b5e1e59d1575a71d8168b0742'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"After the examination\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: After the examination\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: After the examination\">After the examination<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>After the examination, the patient wakes up in a few minutes.
