My doctor wants to perform a colonoscopy on me. What should I expect after the procedure?

After the colonoscopy, you may experience some cramping and bloating in your abdomen. You may also have some nausea or vomiting. You will likely be given medication to help with these symptoms. The doctor will then examine the inside of your colon using a thin, flexible tube called a scope. He or she will check for any polyps, abnormal growths, or other problems that could indicate cancer.
