What you need to know about Colonoscopy in Beirut

A colonoscopy is a medical examination that gives your doctor an in-depth look at your colon (large intestine) to check for polyps, inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. It's a very important procedure especially in the detection of early-stage colorectal cancer, the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In Beirut, a range of medical facilities perform this essential procedure.

The colonoscopy process involves the use of a long, flexible tube known as a colonoscope, fitted with a small camera at the end, to visualize the inner lining of your rectum and intestine. It allows the doctor to take photographs, perform biopsies (removal of tissue samples for testing), and even remove abnormal growths without the need for surgery. This medical procedure is normally performed under sedation to ensure patient comfort.

It's important to note that prior to the procedure, a 'bowel prep' is necessary, which involves a special diet and laxatives to clean the colon. This allows the doctor to clearly view the entire colon during the procedure. Despite some discomfort during preparation, remember that a colonoscopy can effectively spot and even prevent serious health issues, making this procedure highly beneficial.

What's the Recovery Time for Colonoscopy Procedures in Beirut?

The recovery phase following a colonoscopy is typically swift, with most patients being able to return to their regular activities the very next day. One thing to note is that due to the sedatives that you'll receive during the procedure, it's not uncommon to feel a bit sluggish or out of sorts for a few hours post-procedure. Hence, arranging for a close one to drive you home is necessary.

Some individuals might notice a slight bloating or gassiness, owing to the air that was pumped into the colon to provide a better view during the procedure. This discomfort should be short-lasting and usually disappears within 24 hours. As for diet, unless your doctor advises otherwise, you should be able to resume normal eating habits the day following the procedure.

However, these timelines can vary person to person. If you experience severe pain in your abdomen, high fevers, or observe significant blood in your bowel movements, these are indicators of potential complications and you should get in touch with your doctor straight away.

What's the Success Rate of Colonoscopy Procedures in Beirut?

 

Good news is, research shows that colonoscopies usually have a success rate of about 90% in locating polyps or tumors in the colon. But, this might vary based on different things. This includes the skill level of the doctor conducting the procedure and the quality of the equipment used during the process. Your personal health conditions, your age, and any existing risk factors could also impact this rate.

Colonoscopy is a very useful method for identifying potential problems in your colon and rectum. It enables the doctor to get a detailed look at the lining of your colon, identify and get rid of any polyps, and if need be, grab samples for further testing. The sooner these potentially precancerous polyps or tumors are found, the better chances you have of getting effective treatment and improved health. So without a doubt, colonoscopy is a trusted and impactful
