A colonoscopy utilizes a soft, flexible endoscope to evaluate lesions and diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the terminal ileum, cecum, various parts of the colon, rectum, and anus. A colonoscopy can detect lesions and abnormal cells, and it also functions to remove polyps and perform hemostasis. If you experience&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongmed.com\/en\/occult-blood-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blood stools<\/a>, fecal occult blood or black stools, mucus in stool, changes in bowel habits (persistent constipation\/diarrhea), abdominal cramps, difficulty in defecation, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, or symptoms related to colorectal cancer, you should follow a doctor's advice to undergo a colonoscopy. Please&nbsp;<a href=\"#form_anchor\">Contact Us<\/a>&nbsp;for detained pricing and information of cystoscopy at HKMED.<\/p><p>In addition to blood tests and X-rays, a colonoscopy can more accurately identify the cause of symptoms. Doctors can observe the condition of the intestinal wall on a screen and use various instruments to perform procedures such as hemostasis and polyp removal, as well as extract suspicious tissue for further laboratory testing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ef16aa7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ef16aa7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6cc9bac\" data-id=\"6cc9bac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0a72d71 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0a72d71\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1eda16f\" data-id=\"1eda16f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbbcab5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bbbcab5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Enquiry for appointment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac685e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac685e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you have any enquiries or wish to schedule an examination, please feel free to contact us through the following channels.
