Colonoscopy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Colonoscopy & When Should You Get One?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A colonoscopy, also known as a lower GI endoscopy, is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. This exam of the colon is performed while using a flexible tube about the size of your ring finger. A tiny camera at the tip of the tube provides a live view of the colon. During a colonoscopy, a gastroenterologist will check your colon for any irritated tissues, or polyps, and look closely for any other issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re 45 or older, it\u2019s time for a colonoscopy. Early detection of colon conditions including colorectal cancer saves lives. If you’re a child of the 80’s or older, call Colorado Mountain Medical today to schedule this important screening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out more about getting a colonoscopy or to download procedure preparation packets,\u00a0see the Colorado Mountain Medical Gastroenterology & Hepatology services page.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
