A colonoscopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a long, thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of your large intestine (colon). Your doctor might recommend this procedure to screen for cancer, investigate symptoms like bleeding or changes in bowel habits, or remove polyps. During the procedure, you'll be sedated for comfort, and the doctor will gently guide the scope through your colon while viewing images on a screen to look for any abnormalities.
