What colonoscopy is
A test to examine the colon and rectum from inside
A flexible camera examines the large bowel lining for inflammation, polyps or other changes.
Your concern, history and available findings determine the examination's goal.
When it may be considered
Colonoscopy is considered for the clinical concern, not one sign alone
It assesses certain symptoms, prior tests, history or prevention needs, answering a specific clinical question.
- Bleeding or persistent bowel changes
- A previous result needing closer investigation
- Personal or family history needing review
- Discussion of prevention and early detection
Important: assessment chooses the test providing needed information for each situation.
