What is a colonastrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
U mean colonosocopy?: Colonoscopy= the study of the colon (large-intestine) using a video-scope. The colon is roughly 70in long (average) and colon cancer is among the top causes of cancer death these days--the main purpose of colonoscopy screen is to find the cancer early so that it can be more easily treated/cured, thus reducing death. You are 57 yrs old?, you should get one. Consult doc. Good luck.
