7 Myths About Colonoscopies
It’s not as bad as you think! Don’t let these myths about colonoscopies get in the way of your pursuit of a healthy, cancer-free life.
Myth #1: I’m not at risk for colon cancer.
FACT: Colon cancer is the 3rd most common cancer among men and women, but if you catch it early, colon cancer is highly treatable and survivable. If you’re 45-75 years old, you need to get screened.
Myth #3: Colonoscopies are too expensive.
FACT: The Affordable Care Act mandates that insurance cover 100% of the cost of your screening colonoscopy. And polyps can often be removed during this procedure without incurring additional costs.
Myth #5: Colonoscopies are dangerous.
FACT: Serious complications only arise in about 1 in 500 colonoscopies. If you compare that with the odds of actually getting colon cancer (1 in 20), it’s clear which is the higher risk to your safety.
Myth #7: Other methods of screening are just as effective.
FACT: Colonoscopy has the highest cancer detection rate (95%) and the highest rate of finding and removing polyps. Other methods rarely detect polyps, so they can’t stop cancer from forming in the first place.
Myth #2: I don’t need to be screened until I’m having symptoms.
FACT: In most cases, colon cancer starts as polyps that don’t present any symptoms. If you detect and remove those polyps through routine screening, you can stop colon cancer before it starts.
Myth #4: Colonoscopies are painful.
FACT: The procedure is relatively quick and painless. Colonoscopies last 30 to 60 minutes and are performed under sedation. Recovery is quick and most patients don’t even remember their procedure.
Myth #6: The prep is terrible.
FACT: It’s no pina colada, but prep options have improved a lot. At the end of the day, any prep is a small price to pay to find and prevent colon cancer.

Dr. Tepler’s staff is amazing. They all treated me with great “bedside manner”. From the moment I checked in, to the minute I left, they were all so professional, friendly, and attentive to me. Dr. Tepler, I was so comfortable by your staff. You all go above and beyond and it shows. I wanted thank you for all you do and the workers as well. I was impressed! Be well and take good care.
