National Bowel Cancer Screening Program - Colonoscopy (brochure)

If your National Bowel Cancer Screening Program test finds blood in your poo, your GP may recommend you have a colonoscopy. There are a number of reasons why blood can be found in your poo and most are not cancer related — it’s important to find out the cause.

The brochure includes information about:

• colonoscopy
• how to prepare for one
• how a colonoscopy is done
• how to recover

It also provides contact information for any questions or to ask for information in another language.
