A colonoscopy is a medical examination performed using a thin, telescope-like device known as a colonoscope to inspect the lining of the large bowel. This procedure is instrumental in diagnosing causes behind certain symptoms such as abdominal pain or certain bowel conditions. Through colonoscopy, doctors can detect and fully remove pre-cancerous lesions, or polyps, thereby playing a crucial role in colorectal cancer screening for patients over the age of 45 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer.
