Preparation for colonoscopy

Colonoscopy can be very effective in detecting abnormalities in the colon and rectum that can lead to colorectal cancer, however, complete preparation is necessary to ensure the most accurate results. It is important to thoroughly cleanse the colon and rectum so that the doctor can have a clear view during colonoscopy, if the doctor does not have a clear view it may not detect cancer-causing polyps and other abnormalities.
