Description
Estimated cost for Colonoscopy at general public hospitals in China is about ¥350-1600, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥500-2000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Colonoscopy is primarily used for screening and early detection of colorectal cancer, diagnosing unexplained changes in bowel habits, evaluating symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or chronic diarrhea, and monitoring or removing polyps in the colon or rectum. It is also used to follow up on abnormal results from other tests, such as a positive fecal occult blood test.
Normal Range
A colonoscopy does not have a numerical normal range as it is a visual and procedural examination. The test is considered normal if the lining of the colon and rectum appears healthy, without polyps, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Colonoscopy results are not quantified with values that can be low. However, an absence of findings (e.g., no polyps) is generally positive.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Colonoscopy results are not quantified with values that can be high. Abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, or signs of inflammation indicate a need for further evaluation or treatment.
