Endoscopy - Gastroscopy & Colonoscopy

Gastroscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed through the mouth to examine the inside of the stomach and upper digestive tract for any abnormalities or issues.

Colonoscopy involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera through the rectum to examine the entire large bowel (colon) for signs of disease, inflammation, or growths.

Bowel cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large bowel (colon or rectum), often developing from polyps over time, and is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early through screening.

Polyps in the large bowel are small, usually benign growths that develop on the inner lining of the colon or rectum, which can often be removed during a colonoscopy to prevent potential future complications.

Pruritus Ani means a chronic (persistent) itchy feeling around the anus. About 1 in 20 people develop pruritus ani at some stage. It is common in both adults and children.
