Frequently asked questions
Is a colonoscopy painful?
No. It is done under comfortable sedation and most patients do not remember the procedure itself.
How long does it take?
About 20–30 minutes for the procedure; you can leave roughly an hour after waking, with a companion.
When do I get the result?
A preliminary result the same day. If biopsies are taken, the pathology result follows within days and your doctor reviews it with you.
Can I drive after?
No, because of the sedation. Please come with a companion.
