What it is

Looking for bowel polyps and early cancer in people who feel well, from age 45 — before symptoms ever start.

The operation

Colonoscopy inspects the whole large bowel and removes polyps in the same procedure; FIT is the home stool alternative.

Anesthesia & stay

Sedation through a drip; home the same day, with no driving that day.

Recovery

Mild bloating settles quickly; normal eating the same evening and work the next day, usually.

Home care

The preparation is the key: a low-residue diet, then clear fluids and the split-dose preparation drinks.

Warning signs

Bleeding that will not stop, increasing tummy pain or fever after the test — and at any time, blood in the stool needs prompt review.
