Is endoscopy a painful procedure?
Most procedures are performed under sedation, so patients feel minimal discomfort and can recover quickly.
How often should I have a colonoscopy?
For average-risk adults, a colonoscopy is recommended every 5–10 years. Frequency may increase for high-risk individuals or those with prior findings.
Can digestive disorders be treated without surgery?
