A member asked:
What can the inside or the wall of a healthy colon look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smooth: The inner layer or mucosa of the colon should be relatively smooth and pinkish in appearance at colonoscopy. Ulcers, pouches, whitish plaques and raised areas like polyps are some examples of abnormal findings.
