Is 80yrs old to old to have a colonospy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most doctors could to say that they don't recommend colonoscopy after 75. However, if you are a healthy 80-year-old and if I ask you a question:" if I find cancer and we need to do surgery to remove it" and your answer is YES, then colonoscopy is ok to have.
