What is a colonoscopy?

A test in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed through the back passage to look at the large bowel (colon). Polyps can be removed and samples taken; you drink a bowel-cleansing medicine the day before.

These are general explanations, not medical advice. Your doctor’s advice about your own health comes first.
