A colonoscopy is not a mandatory procedure as part of a general health exam. However, it is recommended for men and women reaching the age of fifty to have one. A colonoscopy is an examination of the large and small bowel with a fibre-optic camera inserted via the rectum. The procedure need not be painful. Some patients are given tranquillisers in advance and some people actually sleep through the process.
