There are rules for colon use. For example, in English you should use a colon following a complete sentence to introduce a list of items when no introductory word or phrase appears, or to introduce a direct quote of more than 3 lines, etc. There are other rules for the proper use of colons. Any good grammar book for the language of your choice will list them.

What is a redundant colon is this serious you are constipated and am going to change your diet to add more fiber vegtables and water would you need surgery for a redundant colon?

The term "redundant colon" describes a large intestine (colon) that is longer than normal and as a result has repetitive, overlapping loops. Typically, this is a normal anatomic variation. It usually causes no symptoms and needs no treatment. A redundant colon may be found incidentally on a colon X-ray (barium enema) done for some other reason. Rarely, it causes a serious complication if it twists around itself (volvulus) and obstructs the colon. This causes cramping abdominal pain and usually warrants prompt medical attention. Consult a doctor on dietary needs, although an increase in water intake and green leafy vegetables are normally recommended.


Can a tortuous colon be reversed?

By colonoscopy is the best procedure to remove the polyps. The colonoscopy procedure is carried out when canal needs to be examined for signs of cancers, ulcers, fistulas or any other such anomalies. A colonoscopy screens for possible colon cancer and other diseases of the bowel or colon. In colonoscopy procedure a thinner tube penetrates patient's colon through anus. Sometimes, when the colon is not well prepared for the colonoscopy, the doctor can pump some air in the colon. This can help the opening of the colon. The whole intestine is easily examined through the colonoscopy. If there are any obstacles, such as polyps are found, a small biopsy instrument reaches the suspect area, and "bites" a piece. In this manner polyps can be removed from the colon.
