Testing for gastroenterology typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, and various diagnostic procedures. Common tests include blood tests, stool tests, imaging studies like ultrasounds or CT scans, and endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy or colonoscopy to visualize the gastrointestinal tract. These tests help diagnose conditions like acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease, or infections. The specific tests used depend on the patient's symptoms and medical history.
For colonoscopy, the recommended age for your first screening is 50 if you have no family history of colon cancer.
