I'm going to the doctor next week to have a colonoscopy performed. What should I expect during this procedure?

You can expect the doctor to give you an anesthetic and then insert a tube into your rectum to help them see inside your colon. The doctor will use a camera to look for polyps, which are abnormal growths in your colon that may be cancerous. If any polyps are found, they will be removed and sent off for further testing.
