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

Screening saves lives. Waiting can cost them.
