The colon, also known as the large intestine, is the final part of the human digestive system. There are various conditions that require examination of the colon, which is done using a procedure called a colonoscopy.
A colonoscopy is the insertion of a long, flexible tube into the rectum and through the course of the entire colon. This tube, called a colonoscope, has a tiny camera on the end that is used for examination purposes. A colonoscopy can reveal a number of conditions, including irritated or swollen tissue, ulcers, and polyps. Early detection of these conditions can contribute to a swift and complete recovery.
A colonoscopy is a very important procedure, as it can also detect the potential onset of colon or rectal cancer. Just as with other colorectal conditions, colon cancer is best treated as soon as possible to stop the progression and to manage symptoms.
