I recently had lack of hunger for around 2 months and lost about 7 kgs. I went to the doctor and he suggested me to take an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I am fine with endoscopy, but I am a scared to take a colonoscopy. Can you please let me know if there is any alternative to colonoscopy? If there are no alternatives, can you please let me know if there are any risks in going through a colonoscopy. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello sir, greetings from your doctor. Endoscopy and colonoscopy are usually suggested to get a clear cut diagnosis and to rule out any other problems. Considering this pandemic situation I would suggest to reconsider the same. It is better to get an expert advise for the same. In case if you need a proper ayurveda line of treatment, I suggest you to consult with me, I can guide you in a right direction.
