A colonoscopy does more than screen for colore**al cancer. It can detect precancerous polyps, tumors, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis, while also helping uncover the cause of chronic constipation or diarrhea, re**al bleeding, abdominal pain, and unexplained bowel changes.
Early answers lead to earlier treatment, and peace of mind.
