<h2 aria-level="3">Why You Should Consider a Colonoscopy If You Have Frequent Stomach Pain </h2>
The large intestine stores waste before it’s excreted. When we eat food that’s not hygienic or unhealthy, it can disrupt the digestive process, leading to build-up, fermentation, and frequent abdominal pain. That’s why it’s important to monitor your colon health and ensure it’s still functioning properly. 
 
<h2 aria-level="3">When Should You Be Concerned? </h2>
You might wonder, “How do I know when I need a colonoscopy?” 
 Here are the warning signs: 
<ul>
<li>Chronic diarrhea </li>
<li>Abnormal stools </li>
<li>Blood in the stool </li>
<li>Straining or feeling of incomplete bowel movements </li>
<li>Unexplained weight loss </li>
<li>Paleness or signs of anemia </li>
<li>Frequent lower abdominal pain </li>
<li>A lump in the abdomen </li>
<li>Family history of colon cancer </li>
</ul>
If you have any of these symptoms, it’s highly recommended to consult a doctor right away. 
 
<h2 aria-level="3">Is a Colonoscopy Scary? </h2>
Not at all! Before the procedure, the doctor will ask you to clear your colon by eating a soft diet and taking laxatives for 1–2 days. 
During the colonoscopy: 
<ul>
<li>A long, soft tube with a camera is inserted through the anus, allowing the doctor to examine up to 1.5 meters of the colon. </li>
<li>The procedure takes about 15–30 minutes. </li>
<li>It can be done with or without sedation. </li>
<li>Afterward, you’ll rest at the hospital for 1–2 hours and can usually go home the same day—if no serious issues are found. </li>
</ul>
If abnormalities like inflammation, polyps, or cancer are found: 
<ul>
<li>A biopsy may be taken. </li>
<li>If polyps are detected, the doctor can remove them using a wire and electric current and send them for lab testing. </li>
</ul>
 
<h2 aria-level="3">Why Is a Colonoscopy Beneficial? </h2>
Colonoscopy helps detect: 
<ul>
<li>Ulcers </li>
<li>Hemorrhoids </li>
<li>Polyps </li>
<li>Colon cancer </li>
<li>And other abnormalities in the colon </li>
</ul>
If there is bleeding in the lower digestive tract, a colonoscopy helps identify the source and can even stop the bleeding during the procedure. 
Though rare, possible side effects include: 
<ul>
<li>Bleeding </li>
<li>Perforation of the intestine (less than 1 in 1,000 cases) </li>
<li>Infection (especially after removing tissue or using cauterization) </li>
</ul>
In such cases, doctors will keep patients for monitoring until they are safely cleared.
