My doctor says I need to get a colonoscopy. What is the procedure like?

The procedure for a colonoscopy involves having a tube inserted into your rectum and then slowly pushed through your colon. During the procedure, you may be asked to drink a laxative solution to help move the tube along. Once the tube is inside your body, it will be used to take pictures of the inside of your colon. After the procedure is finished, the tube will be removed and you should feel better.
