Intestinal Diseases
Preventive Care and Early Diagnosis
Examination methods that enable the detection of early stage cancer
are a blessing. This is widely agreed upon. Yet many patients are anxious
about preventive check-ups. To them the colonoscopy is too labor-intensive,
too unpleasant and often too painful. The virtual colonoscopy on the
other hand may be a pleasant alternative for the future, since it is
pain- and contact-less.
For whom a colonoscopy is advisable?
- for men and women over the age of 50
- abdominal discomfort
- if there is intestinal cancer in the family
When is a reinvestigation advisable?
- in a 5 years interval if no polyps are detected
- every 2-3 years in families with intestinal cancer and after polypectomie
