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.

A colonoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera (colonoscope) through the rectum to examine the lining of the colon. It is usually done under mild sedation for comfort, and you can go home the same day.

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

You can book here a colonoscopy at public hospitals, private hospitals, or through specialist gastroenterologist clinics across Singapore. 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.
