SEOUL W · GUIDE
Endoscopy & health screening
Clear guidance from preparing for your examination to understanding the next steps.
Colonoscopy: bowel preparation and follow-up
Colonoscopy directly examines the entire colon from the rectum to the cecum and is used to detect and help prevent colorectal cancer, polyps and inflammatory bowel disease.
Sedated endoscopy: discussing sedation and your journey home
Sedated endoscopy uses medicine to reduce anxiety and discomfort. Because medication response and depth of sedation differ between people, advance consultation and a safe journey-home plan are important.
Colon polyp removal: questions after a finding
Whether a polyp found during colonoscopy can be removed the same day is decided by the clinical team after considering its size, shape and position and the patient's condition. Confirm pathology results, aftercare and follow-up.
Health screening: choosing tests and discussing results
Health screening aims to find hidden disease before symptoms appear. The appropriate tests depend on current symptoms, age, medical and family history, so confirm the included tests and follow-up plan.
Before endoscopy: booking and preparation checklist
Confirm your examination and obtain individual preparation instructions. This checklist does not replace fasting, bowel preparation or medication advice.
After endoscopy: home instructions and results
Check advice specific to your sedation, tissue sampling and treatment. Recovery and result review are important parts of the examination pathway.
Your first examination visit: booking, fees and arrival
Confirm your examination purpose, instructions, fee components and documents before visiting. This page is not a confirmed appointment or price quotation.
Information to organize before an endoscopy consultation
A short record of symptoms, previous results and medicines can help you cover important questions during your visit.
Connecting screening results with your next consultation
Discuss results together with symptoms, previous tests and a follow-up plan rather than drawing conclusions from a flag on a report.
