The colon is another name for the large intestine. While the back passage and the lower parts of the colon can be viewed directly using small metal or plastic tubes, other methods are needed to inspect the rest of the bowel.
Colonoscopy enables the doctor to examine the lining of the bowel all the way through the colon and is, therefore, used to investigate bleeding, changes in bowel movements, abdominal pain and abnormalities revealed by other examinations such as barium enema, which require confirmation or biopsy.
