Colonoscopy procedures can help patients achieve optimal health by preventing colon cancer or discovering it while still treatable.
Endoscopy is a procedure that lets your doctor look inside your body. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short. Scopes have a tiny camera attached to a long, thin tube.
Gastroenterologists perform more gastrointestinal research, examinations and procedures than other doctors do. As a result, they are more likely to make accurate diagnoses, identify problems sooner and treat them with fewer complications.

Colonoscopies check for many health issues, most notably colon tumors and polyps. Whether you have a family history of colon cancer or not, you should plan on getting a checkup if you’re over the age of 45. As with any other form of cancer, the earlier you’re diagnosed with colon cancer, the better your chances of beating it with treatment are. Are you wondering what colon cancer pain feels like and how you’d be able to tell if you had it? Symptoms of colon cancer will vary by patient but may include abdominal pains, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, weakness or fatigue, and changes in your bowel movements, such as frequent diarrhea or constipation. Many people with colon cancer won’t exhibit any symptoms during the early stages. You should measure colonoscopy costs in terms of the value of your health. If you need to schedule a colonoscopy in the Chicago area, don’t delay. Schedule a screening with the gastroenterologists at GO Gastro.
Our gastroenterologist Dr. Olivera in the Chicago area believes in the importance of educating our patients on a variety of health topics, ranging from anemia to gastrointestinal infections, cirrhosis of the liver, and pancreatitis.
