OF POLYPS CAN BE FOUND BY A COLONOSCOPY
A colonoscopy is a common painless procedure during which your healthcare provider—usually a gastroenterologist—uses a camera called a colonoscope to look inside your rectum and entire colon for small growths called polyps. If not removed, polyps may become cancerous. Having a clean colon prior to your procedure is the key to a successful colonoscopy.
