About Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon). A thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope is used to look at the colon. A colonoscopy helps find ulcers, polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding.
During a colonoscopy, tissue samples can be collected (biopsy) and abnormal growths can be taken out. Colonoscopy can also be used as a screening test to check for cancer or precancerous growths in the colon or rectum (polyps).
The American Cancer Society recommends regular colonoscopy screening starting at age 45 for people at average risk of colorectal cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon) using a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope that has a tiny camera at the tip. It helps find ulcers, polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding.
How long does a colonoscopy take?
The procedure itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, you should plan to spend 2-3 hours at the facility for preparation, the procedure, and recovery from sedation.
Is a colonoscopy painful?
Most people don't experience pain during a colonoscopy because they receive sedation. You might feel some cramping or bloating afterward, but this typically resolves quickly.
