Understanding Endoscopy & Colonoscopy
Endoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the digestive tract to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestines for abnormalities like ulcers, inflammation, or tumors.
Colonoscopy: A similar procedure, but it focuses on the lower digestive tract (colon and rectum) to detect issues such as polyps, cancer, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

FAQs
What is the difference between endoscopy and colonoscopy?
Endoscopy examines the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum), while colonoscopy focuses on the lower digestive tract (colon and rectum).
How should I prepare for an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
You will likely need to fast for several hours before the procedure and may need to take a bowel prep for a colonoscopy. Your doctor will provide specific instructions.
Is endoscopy or colonoscopy painful?
These procedures are minimally invasive and are generally well-tolerated. Sedation is used to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
Endoscopy typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, while colonoscopy may take 30 to 60 minutes.
Are these procedures safe?
Yes, both endoscopy and colonoscopy are generally very safe with minimal risks when performed by experienced professionals.
When should I schedule my first colonoscopy?
It’s recommended to have your first colonoscopy at age 50 or earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors.
What happens after the procedure?
After an endoscopy or colonoscopy, you will rest for a short time before being discharged. Most people can return to normal activities the following day.
Do I need a referral for an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
A referral is typically required by insurance companies, but you can also contact us directly to schedule a consultation.
Can I resume normal activities after an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
Most patients can return to their regular activities the day after the procedure, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours, especially if sedation was used. Your doctor will provide specific recovery guidelines.
