A colonoscopy is a medical procedure where a doctor uses a small, flexible tube with a camera on the end to look inside the large intestine (colon). This can help identify any problems, such as growths or inflammation. A patient may need a colonoscopy if they are experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits, or if they are due for routine colorectal cancer screening. During the procedure, the patient is given medication to help them relax and sleep, and the doctor gently guides the tube through the colon to examine the lining.
