Can a colonoscopy be safe for 17 years?

A colonoscopy is an examination of the intestine. There is no such thing as a single colonoscopy that guarantees 17 years of safety.

Colonoscopy is a method used to help diagnose intestinal diseases, and may be necessary for patients who cannot be detected by other methods. However, a single colonoscopy without abnormalities only indicates that the current physical condition is normal, and there is no guarantee that the bowel will not develop abnormal diseases in 17 years. Daily if found that there may be abnormal intestinal conditions should be timely medical examination.
