Recent medical research has shown in recent years that people aged 50 years and older are more likely than others to have colon problems, especially the polyps in the colon.
These polyps are initially benign and non-random, but over time (estimated at about 10 years), some of these follicles (10% of the follicles) are transformed into cancerous cells.
Therefore, early detection of these polyps is recommended at the age of 50 years through the operation of a colonoscope through the anus, where these can be detected and cut the appendages and endoscopic (without surgery) and thus not allow it to turn into tumors malignant.
Scientific studies have shown that colonoscopy is a very effective means of preventing colorectal cancer by early diagnosis and eradication of sepsis before it can cause a problem for the patient.
Therefore, every person aged 50 years or more is advised to consult the gastroenterologist for the work of the colonoscope.
The colonoscope is simple and easy to operate. It can be done without the need to enter the hospital. It can take 20 minutes. The patient will be anesthetized by superficial anesthesia, so that the procedure is very comfortable.
