Is Colonoscopy An Expensive Procedure? Cost Of Colonoscopy

Colorectal Cancer is one of the most common cancers within Singapore and the 3rd most common cancer found worldwide. This makes timely screening in the form of colonoscopy imperative among the general population. Early stages of colon cancer may show no symptoms and evidence suggests that early detection results in a reduction of mortality rate. By the age of 50, it is recommended by Ministry of Health guidelines to begin regular screening for individuals that pose no risk factors. In fact, individuals displaying increased risk should consider screening even before the age of 50, on a case-by-case basis.

WHAT IS COLONOSCOPY?

In Singapore, a colonoscopy screening is the most effective way for doctors to evaluate the colon (large intestine). Colonoscopy uses a flexible tube about the thickness of a finger, which contains a camera and a light source at the tip.

This instrument is inserted through the anus. The scope is then advanced through the rectum and the colon slowly, under visual guidance, usually up to the cecum. There is also the possibility of entering and examining the small intestine's last few inches (terminal ileum).

WHAT CAN COLONOSCOPY DETECT?

There are many reasons to perform a colonoscopy. In most cases, colonoscopies are performed in the context of cancer screening programs. The procedure is usually carried out to determine the cause of blood in the stool, pain in the abdomen or the cause of diarrhea, bowel habits change, or to find out how abnormal the colonic x-ray or CT scan is.

The risk of polyps and colon cancer is higher for those with a history of polyps or colon cancer and those with a family history of some types of non-colonic cancers and colonic problems that can resemble colon cancer (such as colonic polyps).

WhO should GO FOR A COLONOscopy?

Colon cancer screening should begin at age 50 for most people once every 5 years and have a family history of colon or rectum cancer or a personal history of colorectal conditions.

It is recommended to go for a colonoscopy if the symptoms below of colorectal cancer are persistent.

A change in bowel habits, including diarrhoea or constipation
Presence of blood in stools
Persistent abdominal discomfort such as cramps, gas or pain
Blood in the stool
Unexplained weight loss
Anaemia

WHAT IS GASTROSCOPY?

Gastroscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is used to look inside the oesophagus (gullet), stomach, and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It’s also sometimes referred to as an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The endoscope has a light and a camera at one end. The camera sends images of the inside of your oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum to a monitor.
