A colonoscopy is a procedure during which the lining of the large intestine is examined. A small flexible tube is used. The procedure looks for abnormal growths, ulcers, and inflamed tissue and is often used for rectal and colon cancer screening. It can also be used to check for causes of rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, or changes in bowel habits.
