Colonoscopy in Nigeria
The average lifetime risk of getting colorectal cancer is approximately 1 in 22 men and 1 in 24 women. Colorectal cancers are the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Many of these deaths can be prevented by getting early, regular screenings.
A colonoscopy is a screening test used to detect and prevent colon and colorectal cancers. Colonoscopies are also tools that can help determine the cause of gastrointestinal conditions, such as: chronic diarrhea or constipation and rectal or abdominal bleeding.
It’s recommended that people with average cancer risk start getting this test at age 45 or 50, and every 10 years afterward, through age 75.
