Booking a colonoscopy in Singapore is widely recommended for early detection of colorectal cancer and other bowel issues. Doctors typically advise people over 50—or earlier for those with family history or symptoms—to undergo regular colonoscopies.

During the test, a specialist uses a scope to view the inside of your bowel and take pictures or samples if needed. 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.

Both public and private here healthcare providers offer this service, with varying waiting times and costs depending on your choice. Check with your clinic for details on Medisave claims or insurance coverage, as these can help offset out-of-pocket costs.

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