Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inner lining of the large intestine or colon. During this procedure, a flexible tube called a colonoscope is inserted through the anus and advanced along the entire length of the colon.

The colonoscope has a camera and a light source at its tip, allowing the doctor to examine the inner surface of the colon. It also has functions such as air ventilatem and water Spraying, enabling the doctor to capture any abnormalities on the inner surface of the colon and use the necessary tools for biopsies.

Colonoscopy is a common method used in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases like colon cancer. During the procedure, the doctor can also remove polyps from the inner lining of the colon, preventing them from becoming cancerous. Colonoscopy is also used to identify the source of bleeding, diagnose gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and determine the cause of other digestive system issues.
