My mom is now under the care of my Doc and is having a colonoscopy today to remove the remaining polyps. Doc said anyone with polyps should have colonscopy every 2 years. I also was told that with Crohns, if you have had disease for 8 years or more they want more frequent colonoscopies I assume every other year.
The preparation. 1  The colonoscopy is a procedure that allows a physician to see inside the colon and rectum. 2  The colonoscopy takes about 30 to 60 minutes, under most circumstances. 3  Once someone reaches the age of 50, she should undergo a colonoscopy every 12 to 18 months.
