Sunil,
How frequently should an asymptomatic 50+ person get a colonoscopy?
Well ONE factor might be how much you enjoy it!
I put mine off for about 5 years ('til I was 70), but now that I've
experienced it (NO recollection at all) I will not procrastinate in the
future. Apparently (and in my limited experience) the colonoscopy is a
procedure with a VERY high user satisfaction level according to a GI
surgeon that I used to routinely work with (and is the boss of the
surgeon that performed MY colonoscopy).
Frequency is entirely a matter of risk. The results of your colonoscopy
(and your medical history) will define how frequently you need to repeat
the procedure.
