A colonoscopy is a test to check inside your bowels.
This test can help find what's causing your bowel symptoms.
A long, thin, flexible tube with a small camera inside it is passed into your bottom.
You'll be given a laxative so your bowels are empty for the test.
Important
You're usually awake during a colonoscopy. You'll be offered medicine to make you more comfortable and make the test easier.

We had multiple travel vaccines and highly recommend the pharmacy for this service. Had an excellent initial consultation with Z who was great throughout the process.
