Booking a colonoscopy in Singapore is widely recommended for early detection of colorectal cancer and other bowel issues. Most guidelines suggest screening from age 50, but those with risk factors may need it sooner.

The procedure lets doctors spot abnormal growths (polyps), ulcers, or sources of bleeding and remove polyps on the spot if necessary. It is usually done under mild sedation for comfort, and you can go home the same read more day.

Preparation includes fasting and drinking a prescribed bowel-cleansing solution the day before to ensure a clear view during the exam.

Colonoscopy is available at most major hospitals and specialist clinics in Singapore such as SGH, NUH, Mount Elizabeth, Parkway East, Raffles Hospital, and private gastroenterology centres. The cost can range from subsidised rates in public hospitals (with referral) to higher prices at private centres, especially if additional procedures like polyp removal are needed.

For anyone experiencing bowel symptoms or seeking peace of mind, a colonoscopy is a reliable way to protect your health—early detection saves lives.
