Common questions

Quick answers

Capsule endoscopy is a simple way to check your bowel. You swallow a tiny camera that takes pictures as it travels through your body. It’s used to detect the presence of tumours, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis and other bowel diseases. It’s painless, doesn’t use radiation, and you can do it at home. A doctor will review the pictures and discuss the results with you. It’s a great way to find problems early, but it might not be right for everyone.

Capsule endoscopy is a painless procedure with no needles or sedation. You simply swallow the capsule and get on with your day.

People who can benefit from this advanced analysis of the small and large bowel include those who:

  • Had previous complications or bad experiences with colonoscopy
  • Need health screening
  • Have unexplained bleeding
  • Require surveillance of certain bowel diseases, such as polyps.
