Years Of Avoiding
A Routine Screening
With a family history of colorectal issues, the patient had been advised for years to get a screening colonoscopy. Fear of pain and discomfort during the procedure kept pushing the decision further away, a hesitation Dr. Krishna Pada Saha sees often in first-time patients.
At the first consultation, time was spent explaining exactly how sedation-assisted, painless colonoscopy works, what to expect at each step, and why early screening matters especially with a family history involved. That clear, patient conversation was enough to finally move forward with the procedure.
