Colonoscopy / Lower GI Endoscopy – Diagnostic & Therapeutic

Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum with a thin, flexible camera. It is the most accurate method to diagnose lower gastrointestinal conditions and also allows treatment during the same procedure when required.

At Dr. Goel’s Clinic, we provide both diagnostic and therapeutic lower GI endoscopy using high-definition equipment to ensure clarity, precision, and patient safety.

What Is Colonoscopy?

During colonoscopy, a flexible endoscope is passed through the rectum to examine the entire colon. It helps identify causes of bleeding, pain, altered bowel habits, and other digestive symptoms with high accuracy.

  • Direct visualization of the colon & rectum
  • Safe, comfortable procedure with mild sedation
  • Accurate diagnosis of lower GI conditions
  • Therapeutic treatment in the same session if needed

The procedure typically takes 15–20 minutes, and most patients return home the same day.

Diagnostic Uses of Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is essential for diagnosing various lower GI disorders, including:

  • Unexplained abdominal pain
  • Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Colonic ulcers or infections
  • Polyps or suspected tumors
  • Altered bowel habits

It remains the gold standard for diagnosing colon-related problems.

Therapeutic (Treatment) Procedures

Many lower GI conditions can be treated during colonoscopy itself, avoiding major surgery:

  • Polyp removal (polypectomy)
  • Control of lower GI bleeding
  • Biopsy sampling for accurate diagnosis
  • Dilation of strictures (selected cases)
  • Foreign body removal
  • Ulcer and inflammation management

These procedures are safe, effective, and performed in a controlled environment.

When to Consider Colonoscopy

You should consult Dr. Gautam Goel if you experience:

  • Blood in stool
  • Persistent constipation or diarrhea
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Family history of colon cancer or polyps
  • Changes in bowel habits

Early evaluation allows timely diagnosis and prevents serious complications.
