Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy helps detect abnormalities such as bleeding sites, polyps, inflammations or tumors. Biopsies may be taken to determine the presence of Colitis/Crohn's disease, to detect cancer or to remove polyps.
If I notice a change in bowel movements, should I go to the doctor?
You should consult your doctor if you notice changes in bowel habit in order to rule out any underlying diseases or disorders.
What can I do to alleviate acid reflux?
It is best to consult your physician to advise necessary medication and evaluation, but here are somethings you can do on your own:
- Avoid eating large portions at one time
- Refrain from eating 2-3 hours before bed
- Elevate your head while sleeping
- Limit your intake of coffee, tea, carbonated beverages, alcohol, chocolate, peppermint and other fatty foods
