Colonoscopy Care That Delivers Real Value
A colonoscopy is not just a diagnostic procedure; it is an important examination that can help detect conditions affecting the colon and rectum at an early stage. At Clinic One, we focus on careful examination, clear explanation of the findings, and appropriate follow-up recommendations based on the results. We aim to provide specialist-led colonoscopy and endoscopy care that is accessible, transparent, and centred on your long-term digestive health.
Our Approach to Colonoscopy
At Clinic One, we recommend colonoscopy when it is clinically appropriate and likely to provide important information about your colorectal health.
Our gastroenterologists begin with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and any previous investigations to determine whether a colonoscopy is the most appropriate examination.
Before the procedure, we provide clear bowel preparation instructions because proper preparation is essential for precise examination. During the colonoscopy, we carefully examine the lining of the colon and rectum and assess for polyps, inflammation, bleeding, tumours, and other abnormalities.
If we identify polyps or abnormal tissue during the examination, we may remove or sample(biopsies) them when clinically indicated. After the procedure, we explain the findings, discuss any additional investigations if required, and provide treatment and follow-up recommendations based on the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a thin, flexible camera to examine the colon and rectum. It helps diagnose conditions such as colon polyps, inflammation, bleeding, colorectal cancer, and other diseases affecting the lower digestive tract.
Who performs the colonoscopy at Clinic One?
At Clinic One, colonoscopy is performed by Dr Rabin Sharma, DM (Gastroenterology & Hepatology), a senior consultant gastroenterologist with extensive experience in colonoscopy and evaluation of colorectal disease. He has performed numerous colonoscopies and provides comprehensive evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up care for patients with lower digestive symptoms.
Is colonoscopy painful?
Colonoscopy is usually not painful for most patients. When clinically appropriate, sedation may be used to make the procedure more comfortable, and some patients may experience temporary bloating, cramping, or mild abdominal discomfort afterwards.
How do I prepare for a colonoscopy?
Before the procedure, our team will provide detailed bowel preparation instructions, including dietary restrictions and bowel-cleansing medication. It is important to follow these instructions carefully, as bowel preparation is necessary for a complete examination of the colon and rectum.
How long does a colonoscopy take?
Most colonoscopy procedures are completed within approximately 20 to 40 minutes. The exact duration may vary depending on the quality of bowel preparation, the findings during the examination, and whether a biopsy or polyp removal is required.
Because colonoscopy is usually performed as a day-care procedure, most patients can return home the same day after a brief observation period.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients recover within a few hours after a colonoscopy and can usually return to normal activities the following day. If sedation is used, you should rest for the remainder of the day and avoid driving or alcohol until the effects have completely worn off. Recovery may take slightly longer if a biopsy is taken or a polyp is removed during the procedure.
Do I need to stay in the clinic after the procedure?
In most cases, colonoscopy is performed as a day-care procedure, so admission is not required. After a short observation period, most patients can return home on the same day once they are medically stable. Before discharge, our gastroenterologist will explain the findings, provide aftercare instructions, and arrange follow-up if further treatment is required.
Can polyps be removed during colonoscopy?
Yes. If polyps are found during the examination, our gastroenterologist can often remove them during the same procedure when clinically appropriate. Removing polyps during colonoscopy may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer developing in the future.

Hello. I live in the USA and am also in the fight against cancer. I am a Cancer Outreach Coordinator who is working to improve screening rates in underserved populations. May I use the drawing on the colonoscopy site? Do you have any colonoscopy literature in Nepali/Hindi that we could use with our large Nepali/Bhutanese population?
Best of Health to you!
