Frequently Asked Questions About Colonoscopy in Bethesda

Who needs a colonoscopy and when?

All individuals need to begin screening at age 45, or earlier with personal history of colorectal cancer, polyps, or symptoms like ongoing pain in the abdomen, rectal bleeding, or alterations in bowel habits.

What does the procedure feel like?

The procedure is 30–60 minutes under pleasant sedation. You'll be lying on your side while a thin, flexible tube with a camera examines your colon. Most of our patients sleep through it and feel great afterward. Polyps are removed immediately if found.

How do I prepare and what is recovery like?

Preparation includes a clear liquid diet and a bowel preparation solution ordered 1–2 days prior. You will rest approximately 30 minutes after your colonoscopy before sedation has a chance to wear off, then leave with a driver. Most resume normal activities the following day.
