High-Definition Screening
Detects Polyps & Cancer Early
Colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine the inner lining of the large intestine (colon and rectum) using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It is crucial for detecting colorectal cancer, polyps, and diagnosing causes of abdominal pain or rectal bleeding. [Image of human digestive system colon]

Sometimes, symptoms like "something coming out" are not piles but Rectal Prolapse (where the rectum protrudes out). Colonoscopy and Defecography help diagnose this.
The rectum turns inside out and comes through the anus. Often confused with piles but requires different surgical treatment (Rectopexy).
Weak pelvic floor muscles cause organs (Bladder, Uterus, Rectum) to drop. Common after childbirth or with age.
