When Should You Get a Colonoscopy?

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — but only if it’s detected early.

Many people wait for symptoms.
The problem? Early-stage colon cancer often has none.

Here’s when you should consider a colonoscopy:

• Age 45 and older, even with no symptoms
• Family history of colon cancer or polyps
• Persistent changes in bowel habits
• Blood in stool
• Unexplained weight loss

A colonoscopy is not just a test.
It’s a preventive procedure that can detect and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.

Screening saves lives. Waiting can cost them.

If you’re unsure whether it’s time for yours, we’re here to guide you.
