Booking a colonoscopy in Singapore is a safe and effective way to check for polyps, inflammation, bleeding, or tumours in the large intestine. If you have symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, blood in stool, or unexplained weight loss, your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy regardless of age.

The procedure lets doctors spot abnormal growths (polyps), ulcers, or sources of bleeding and remove polyps on the spot if necessary. It is usually done under mild sedation for comfort, and you can go home the same day.

You’ll need to follow instructions to empty your bowels before the test—usually with a special drink and avoiding solid food for a period.

Both public and private healthcare providers offer this service, with varying waiting times and costs depending on your choice. Prices vary widely, but here Medisave and insurance can often be used to cover part or all of the bill.

If you have concerns about colon health or risk factors for colorectal cancer, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor about when to schedule this crucial screening.
