Viewing the lining of the large intestine to screen for abnormalities is known as a colonoscopy. This procedure involves the insertion of a flexible tube with a camera, called a colonoscope, into the rectum to examine the colon's interior. It is commonly used to detect conditions such as polyps, inflammation, or signs of colorectal cancer. Regular colonoscopies are recommended for individuals over a certain age or those with risk factors for colon diseases.
