About the Procedure
Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Using a thin, flexible tube fitted with a high-definition camera, Dr. Zaid Gul can detect polyps, inflammation, and early signs of colorectal cancer that would otherwise go unnoticed. Should a polyp or abnormal tissue be found, it can typically be removed or biopsied during the same session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a colonoscopy painful?expand_more
Most patients experience mild discomfort at most. Conscious sedation is used throughout, so you'll be relaxed and largely unaware of the procedure itself.
How soon will I get my results?expand_more
Dr. Zaid Gul discusses initial findings immediately after the procedure. If a biopsy was taken, the pathology report typically takes 3–5 working days.
