It depends on your individual situation. Colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end to examine the inside of the colon. It can help doctors detect and remove polyps (growths) in the colon that could lead to cancer. However, there are risks associated with the procedure, including bleeding, infection, and perforation. Before you decide whether or not to undergo a colonoscopy, you should discuss the potential benefits and risks with your doctor.
