So what is a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a test to look at your bowel using a small camera. The test looks for any small growths called polyps, or signs of disease, such as bowel cancer. If polyps are found they are usually removed during the test. This will reduce the risk of cancer developing. If they are not removed they might turn into cancer. If bowel cancer is found early, it’s easier to treat and there’s a better chance of recovery.
