What Is Meant By Colonoscopy?
I just turned 50 in Feb.--I was told I should get a colonoscopy...should I? And what other tests, etc should I check in to? I am healthy -my BMI is a little high, I need to loose 15-20 lbs, but other than that I'm in pretty good shape--I think--you never know--

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Colonoscopy is the systemic evaluation of large colon with flexible scope
to get details of colon lining , any mucosal irregularity , narrowing or
tumor if doubtful the lesion can be biopsied as well during the procedure
only .
Hope this clears your doubt .
