What is colonoscopy?
A detailed examination of the colon and rectum
Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that lets doctors examine the entire large intestine and rectum using a flexible tube with a high-definition camera.
Colonoscopy helps detect colon cancer at an early stage, identify polyps before they turn cancerous, diagnose chronic digestive conditions, and investigate symptoms such as bleeding, anemia, bowel habit changes, and abdominal pain.
