For people at average risk, a colonoscopy is commonly recommended every 10 years beginning at age 45; colonoscopy allows examination of the colon and rectum and can detect and remove precancerous polyps.

Question 7

What can I expect during a colonoscopy?

Most people receive an intravenous sedative that causes relaxation or sleep during the procedure. The gastroenterologist uses a colonoscope (a narrow, flexible tube with a camera) to examine the lining of the colon and rectum; if necessary, polyps can be removed during the procedure.
