Colonoscopy
What is colonoscopy?

Why have a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopies can detect inflamed tissue, ulcers and abnormal growths. The procedure is used to look for early signs of colorectal cancer and can help doctors diagnose unexplained abdominal pain, bleeding from the bowel, changes in bowel habits, and weight loss.
