When should I get a colonoscopy?
Question:
Answers:
Every 10 years after age 50, unless you have a personal or family history of colon or other abdominal cancers. If you have a family history of colon cancer, get a colonoscopy done 10 years before you reach the age when your family member became ill with the cancer.
Other Answers:
you should get one in your early 30s to late 40s to prevent colon cancer and all that bad stuff, thats when ou should, butyou can get one anytime you want
Whenever you have a high risk for colon cancer, routinely evry year after age forty and if or when the doctor feels necessary.
if you are over 40 years of age and experiencing bleeding in your stool or stomach pains. You need to drain your stomach for a day and engage in a ambulatory operation for 30 minutes. But preparation is needed to sedate you so it takes a few hours more in recovery room. You will get doctor's response immediately during operation. You need a companion to be with you to watch the video and see exactly where the camera is going and what it sees. Good luck.
If there is a history of colon or stomach cancer in your family, certainly no later than your 40's. It's a nasty procedure, but it does allow for early detection.
To treat colon or rectal cancer.. So hopefully never!
When you need to
If colon cancer runs in your family, you should have a colonoscopy in your 30s every two years. It doesn't hurt at all because they put you to sleep. In your later years, your doctor may want to do this procedure every year. If they find any polyps, these can be easily removed and therefore prevent cancer. You can get the results as soon as you wake up - no waiting..
