My doctor has told me that I need to have a colonoscopy. What is a colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of your colon. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube into the rectum and slowly advancing it through the colon. The tube contains a camera that allows the doctor to view the inside of your colon. This helps them detect any polyps or other abnormalities in the lining of your colon.
