Have you ever had a colonoscopy?
Depending on one's age, most of us have had at least one colonoscopy at some point in our lives. And if you haven't had one yet, don't worry. You will.
Don't know what a colonoscopy is?
The Digestive Health Network describes a colonoscopy as: "a procedure that enables your physician to examine the lining of the colon (large bowel) for abnormalities by inserting a flexible tube that is about the thickness of your finger into the anus and advancing it slowly into the rectum and colon."
