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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re 45 or older, it\u2019s time for a colonoscopy. Early detection of colon conditions including colorectal cancer saves lives. If you&#8217;re a child of the 80&#8217;s or older, call Colorado Mountain Medical today to schedule this important screening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>To find out more about getting a colonoscopy or to download procedure preparation packets,\u00a0see the Colorado Mountain Medical Gastroenterology &amp;
