Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between IBS and IBD?
   IBS is a functional disorder that does not cause structural damage to the intestines, whereas IBD (Crohn’s/Ulcerative Colitis) involves chronic inflammation and physical damage to the intestinal lining.
2. When should I undergo a screening colonoscopy?
   Screening typically begins at age 40. However, those with a family history of colorectal cancer may need earlier screening, as determined during a personal consultation.
3. Is an endoscopic procedure painful?
   Most endoscopic procedures are performed under conscious sedation, ensuring the patient remains relaxed and comfortable, effectively eliminating any physical discomfort during the examination.
