Colonoscopy is effective for detecting many conditions, but it may not identify certain diseases such as small bowel disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in its early stages, or microscopic colitis, as these conditions often affect areas not reached by the scope. Additionally, some cancers, like those in the rectum or distal colon, may be missed if they are located in hard-to-reach areas or are very small. Conditions like diverticulitis may also not be clearly visible during the procedure. Lastly, certain functional disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), do not show up on colonoscopy.

Is a colonoscopy a surgical procedure?

A colonoscopy is not a mandatory procedure as part of a general health exam. However, it is recommended for men and women reaching the age of fifty to have one. A colonoscopy is an examination of the large and small bowel with a fibre-optic camera inserted via the rectum. The procedure need not be painful. Some patients are given tranquillisers in advance and some people actually sleep through the process. Your GP may have recommended a colonoscopy if you have had symptoms of haemorrhoids or rectal/bowel discomfort. A colonoscopy can remove any existing polyps or colorectal cancer lesions for biopsy, and to determine if they are precancerous.
