Colonoscopy
  • 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.

The three of us had our Private Flu Jabs with Lords Pharmacy. The pharmacist we saw was brilliant. Firstly he brought us in all together rather than one at a time which made it a more personable service. He was so welcoming and very funny too! Will definitely be going back for any further jabs.
