Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the entire colon and rectum using a flexible tube with a camera. It helps in detecting abnormalities such as polyps, ulcers, and cancer. Screening by means of a colonoscopy is recommended for individuals over 50 or for those with a family history of colorectal cancer.
