Your first colonoscopy is a crucial step in preventive health care, especially when it comes to detecting colon cancer early. The general recommendation is to get your first colonoscopy at age 45, as colorectal cancer risk increases with age. Regular colonoscopies can catch polyps and other abnormalities before they turn into cancer, making this screening an essential part of maintaining your long-term health. Don’t wait—talk to your doctor about when to schedule your first colonoscopy.
