For what reason would a child need a colonoscopy??
Not just for polyp/cancer detection.
Used for diagnosis of any abnormal condition of the large bowel and part of the small bowel such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
Still, I say no thanks, unless maybe under general. Patients undergoing twilight anesthesia often experience the discomfort of having the colon inflated with air pressure, but don’t remember it due to the short-term memory block.
That was the first thing I thought of too, so I googled it for the answer. I was just unaware of it, but they to it.
My son had juvenile polyps, so they did a scope to remove them and check for any signs of cancer. 4.5 years old.
